Stay was good, communication wasn't there at all!
My husband and I stayed here after we got married for a few days before we left for our honeymoon. The area of the stay and the place was super cute and perfect fit for after our wedding. The downside was the communication from the host - absolutely poor! I filled out the "check in" form we received by email and it stated that I'd receive check in information a few days before the stay.... I got that information at 8am on the day of my wedding! I had to email twice, message through the Stayz platform and SMS the host to get the information which is ridiculous. This isn't the information the guest should not have to follow up!The stay and the place was good, the host was not. My advise would be to be prepared to follow the host up for basic information.

40th Birthday Weekend away
I took my husband for a weekend away for his 40th Birthday.
On arrival it was cute, clean and quite. Perfect for a father of four who needs a rest.
He received a gift with a note, which we both thought was a beautiful idea.
It was a perfect weekend away.
The cottage was very clean and very relaxing, we will definitely be back

Enjoyable trip
Bed was the most comfortable I have slept in! Was very relaxing and despite really cold weather the heater was great.
Loved the spa bath and closeness to cafes and shops

For consideration
The bed length was restricted due to the bed frame at the feet end so we couldn’t sleep there. If you’re shorter than 5’7 it’s fine. There is a couch which turns into a decent bed so that was a saving grace.
The DVD player is old and needs updating. Sound is only via TV so if you like music BYO speaker.
The bathroom basin is not acceptable. Tiny corner unit and shelf in the way.
The fireplace did not draw properly.
Candles were not allowed but were provided around the spa. Confusing.
Value for money? No

Great location
Nice spot for a get-away weekend.
One minor issue was we couldn't find a powerpoint for the hair-dryer or phone charger except in the kitchen.

Nice quiet location. Bed was uncomfortable, lots of bugs in cabin and the a/c needs to be updated
The area was beautiful and charming however the cabin was not the greatest. Lots of bugs randomly appearing, a/c unit could do with an update, bed felt like it had a dip in the middle. Will return to the area but will stay somewhere else.
