A cute property, deceiving from the outside, much bigger inside than expected. Comfy beds, lots of heaters and the woodfire made it perfect for us to watch DVDs and chill out. Wood fire outside a bonus. A great location, very quiet area. We loved it!

Thank you for your review Lisbeth. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your weekend with your friends and thought it was a great location. We hope to have an opportunity to host you again in the future.
Really good facility. All important things were clean. Few things need checking on, like shower drains and bathroom sink drain. Some window locks not working , and exterior needed some work. With a little bit of tlc this is a really good property for family groups and friend groups. Very convenient location, and a quiet area.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Rat problems, fire hazards, inappropriate artwork
Good things: excellent comfortable beds, nice electric blankets, great kitchen, excellent gas heater, quiet neighbourhood, nice bathrooms
Areas of improvement: second day there, none of the kitchen down lights worked, weren't fixed until next day, of which only three of the seven worked. Also, three of the six living room down lights didn't work. Electrician and us found evidence of rats and rat poo that fell from the ceiling onto the dining table. Rats had eaten through the down lights in both rooms. Floors in the two small bedrooms were filthy and needed vacuuming and cleaning inside the wardrobes and under the wardrobe doors. Ensuite window faces onto neighbours house, neighbours can see guests going to the toilet. Too much junk furniture with "charm, character" in the master bedroom was not relaxing. Nude artworks next to child artwork in master bedroom completely inappropriate in a "family" space. Kitchen tap needs extension faucet because current taps spray everywhere. Small queen bed bedroom electric blankets connected to power board under bed, with cords under the rug is a massive fire hazard. Garage was full of junk, so only one car could be garaged.

thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Our team are pleased to hear that you found Lovett to be a lovely holiday home suitable for your daughters 40th. We agree the property is in a convenient location and we would love to welcome you back again soon. Holiday Rental Specialists
The house was in a great location. There was an hour later check in due to extra Covid deep cleaning. However when we arrived there were cobwebs in multiple rooms and dead insects behind the blind. The back door did not close properly. Overall I was disappointed with the cleanliness and security of the property.
