Larger than life house in perfect spot

Had a nice stay with my partner, the house has a lot of character and a great view. 10/10 would definitely book again - in fact I tried to and it was already booked out. Thanks

The Sweet Spot Review

The presentation and quality of the property is/was superb along with the location. However as a group of 7 adults we all felt the lounge and dining areas too small. Our recommendation would be the property is most comfortable for a group of 4 and 6 maximum. The dining table is set up with 6 chairs and getting 8 around it would be a stretch. There were also other indicators that 6 guests is the maximum. Only 6 place mats for dining, only 5 side plates,etc. etc. Notes for Housekeeping. We were only provided with a hand towel in 1 of the ensuites. There were only 6 facecloths provided for 7 guests. There were insufficient cakes of soap provided for 7 guests for the length of our stay. The hand towel rail in the bathroom requires attention, refixing to the wall. The liquid soap dispenser in the bathroom is inoperable. There were only 3 wine glasses and no champagne flutes, most frustrating. We made do with the glasses at the property however feel the provision of 6 or 8 white & red wine glasses and champagne flutes would add greatly to the guest experience. keeping up with replacing plates, glassware etc. as required would be advantageous. Please understand our observations are provided as positive feedback.
