Response from VrboOwner on 5 Sept 2023
Good Morning Agnes,
Thank you ever so much for your feedback. As we discussed, I am afraid due to the rural location of the Cottages, it is possible for Spiders to be present. I am afraid there is nothing that can be done regarding this.
We do outline in the listing that May Isle is a rural Country Cottage, located in Crail. Appreciate that you were disappointed that the Cottage was not in walking distance to St Andrews. We manage a wide range of properties from quaint Country Cottages in Crail to luxury townhouses in St Andrews. If we had known your requirements, we would have happily recommended a suitable property to you.
Regarding the Microwave, we have attended since your visit and found the Microwave to be in working order. Should you ever stay with us again, please do not hesitate to get in touch should you require assistance and we will happily assist.
Safe journey to your next destination!
Kind Regards,
Kingask
