Guests are generally very satisfied with the cleanliness of Windwhistle, mentioning it is 'spotless' and 'clean and fresh'. One minor issue with an oven was promptly addressed, showing good responsiveness to cleanliness concerns.
The location is highly praised for its views and proximity to local attractions, though the steep hill is repeatedly mentioned as a challenge. This factor may affect those with mobility issues, but the location is otherwise considered superb.
The property is frequently described as comfortable, with special mentions of the beds and the living space. Some guests felt the living area was a bit small for six adults, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.
Facilities are generally well-received, with guests appreciating the well-equipped property and parking availability. Some guests suggested minor improvements such as additional glassware and a dishwasher, but these do not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback.
While guests have expressed appreciation for the property and its amenities, there are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.
