Cosy Cottage in great location

Quiet, comfortable and warm. Great location, loved that we could just pop out the back straight onto the bike trail. Would be good to have a bit more cutlery (family of 4) but otherwise well equipped. Kitchen basics such as oil, salt & pepper, tea were appreciated. Easy parking next to cottage with plenty of space for bikes. Simple check in/out process. Would happily stay here again when visiting Bright.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location is back enough from the road in a pleasant garden environment. Beds were comfy but lounge furniture was more for form than function.Not in town, but the distance is walkable. A good excuse to enjoy the riverside walk into town for a coffee.

TLC

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cottage is in an extremely idyllic location and was reasonably priced, however, we were quite shocked at the uncleanliness of the majority of the dishes. The bathroom shower was very nice - great pressure with very hot water, but again this part of the house could have been cleaner, as we found hairs from previous guests or the owners and a fair bit of dust. I would also highly recommend that the owners upgrade the mattresses as they were extremely firm and not particularly comfortable. The spare blankets were very dusty. The place just needs a little more TLC in the cleaning department. The view out of the living room window in Autumn is truly picturesque. We would stay here again, but feedback goes a long way.

Cute little cottage with all your needs

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: From the moment the accomodation waa booked the whole process was easy, there waa clear information emailed and key pick up was easy.The cottage is clean and well maintained. Outside there is carport, outdoor table and chairs and BBQ. Amenities are well above the standard of most places I have stayed, fully stocked kitchen with cookware, microwave, oven and fridge, cleaning products and basic cooking essentials (olive oil, salt, pepper).Entertianment wise there was a TV with DVD player and a collection of DVD’s including childrens ones.The beds had fresh bedding, and we were provided with towels, soap and shampoo.Washing machine and dryer also installed.There waa a clothes airer to dry snow gear in front of the split system, and the electric blankets on the beds were extra cosy and my daughters favourite part.There was a pool in the cottage complex too, unfortunately for us, winter wasn’t the time to be using it. Walking distance to Bright, and approximately 1 hour drive to the snow.Overall, extremely happy with our stay10/10 would stay again

Nice little Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great little cottage to fit a small family getaway. Location wasn't too bad, a little out of town and some walking distance but love the surrounding quiet environment. Property is clean but do have some funny smell inside. Property condition wasn't as new as I expected, was little older than showed in the photos. Front door was hard to open/close, couldn't avoid the banging noise every time open or close the door. Property white good appliances are old, the washing machine was shocking cause it create huge loud banging noise during wash but still get the job done. Great communication from the property team, key collection, check in/out information was sent to email with clear direction and instruction given. Especially with the late check out offer. Overall we had a pleasant stay over and will love to see some improvement when we back again. Thanks.

Not a happy place

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been returning guests for many years and have loved staying here previously. This property is now being managed by Dickens Real Estate and they are disgusting to deal with. Upon arrival, the pool was green and covered in cm deep duck poo and no gas in the BBQ. The unit smelt very musty like it hadn’t been aired in a while. It was difficult to get in contact with anyone as we only had an emergency number to call for urgent matters. When questioned, we were told that they can’t help wildlife and the pool guys comes every couple of weeks and it was crystal clear. We vacated early and were told we would be contacted today (4/1/22) but no one has bothered to call us.
Response from VrboOwner on 12 May 2022
Hi Victoria, it's disappointing to read such review of this cottage as it's not an accurate representation of your stay. We can understand your frustration upon your arrival that the pool was green. As was explained to you when you made contact with us about it, there was an equipment failure the week prior to your arrival and our pool technician was doing everything he could to rectify the problem. We advised you that he was attending every 2 days to ensure the pool was up to standard as much as possible, not every couple of weeks as your review inaccurately states. By day 2 the pool was no longer green and in a safe and swimmable position. Our cleaners were taking photos each day they attended to keep us updated. The first contact you made with us was answered within 10 minutes of receiving your text message and you made contact with another team member multiple times during your stay, one of those times being when the empty BBQ gas bottle was replaced. It was not at all difficult to get in contact with us and your calls and texts were always answered in a timely manner. We contacted you regarding your early departure on the 05/01/22 - our second day back in the office after the Christmas/New Year break. We do apologise again about the pool not being up to standard on your first day but feel the rest of your review is untruthful and does not represent this cottage or our agency in true light. Kind regards, Bright Holiday Accommodation.
