The hosts were amazing. They made our stay so relaxing. I appreciated they even had milk waiting because I always forget to grab some before checking in and always want a coffee once there. The accommodation had so many extras i wasn't expecting. Everything was so comfortable and high end. Had an amazing stay!
Excellent for us and our dog. Lovely park 2 minutes away and a 6 minute walk for morning coffee. Comfy bed. Big TV. Great Bathroom. Easy access to city. Quiet street.
Yes.the property was welcome to pets.Bed linen was soiled and had to changed before use.Only 1 window with clear glass for natural light and was blocked by a metal clad van .(a type of caravan).The entrance was cluttered and an eye sore.The 2 doors inside leading outside were permanentlly locked .There is a swimming pool pump at the back wall (outside),running 24/7.The unit is advertised as a Small cottage .It felt like being in a large container.The facilities provided were adequate and clean. Bed was comfortable. Location was satisfactory.
The only thing that was a bit of an issue is there was no cell phone coverage in the unit- not sure I can blame the owner for that! It was inconvenient to sit in the driveway outside and talk to the bank and use the trailer as a desk!

The property is terrible. It is listed pet friendly which it is but there is no yard to use. You have to walk down the road to a park to go toilet. There is a trailer right outside your door in the way and no parking on tbe property. You need to park up on the road and load everything in from up there. The property was quiet dirty. Oven not.ckeaned stains all over the carpet although the cleaning lady said they were getting stream cleaned this week so that will definitely help with the look and smell. The blinds are very dusty and the bathroom still had pubic hair on the toilet seat. Only nice thing was the cleaning lady was friendly. Highly suggest booking elsewhere. We booked for 3 nights butonly stayed 1 and left early the next morning. Would never stay again

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Dec 2025
Hi Danielle, thanks for your feedback. I’m sorry the stay wasn’t the right fit.
To clarify for future guests: the cottage is pet-friendly, however there is no private/fenced yard. The listing does not state that a yard is included, so guests should not expect one unless it is specifically mentioned. For clarity, this reservation was not made with a pet included.
Parking is curbside/on-street, and the walk to the entrance is only around 10 metres down a reasonably flat driveway/path (no steps).
Cleanliness is something we take very seriously. We’ve hosted for several years with consistently strong ratings and professional cleaning between every booking, and on our main platform we have close to 187 reviews with cleanliness averaging 4.8 out of 5.0 If anything was missed, I apologise and we’ve reinforced our checks.
