Cleanliness
Reviews indicate a generally clean environment, but some guests noted issues with dog hairs, grimy floors, and mould. The property seems to be well-kept for the most part, but there is room for improvement in deep cleaning and attention to detail.
Location
The location is frequently praised for its tranquillity, natural beauty, and wildlife. The proximity to a swimming pool and walking trails adds to the appeal. The setting appears to be a highlight for many visitors.
Comfort
Comfort has received mixed reviews. While the bungalow is often described as cosy and relaxing, several guests have reported issues with the bed and furniture. The comfort of the sleeping arrangements, in particular, seems to be an area that could be enhanced.
Facilities
Facilities like the swimming pool are well-received, but maintenance issues such as broken patio furniture, a non-operational dishwasher, and mouldy outdoor furniture have been noted. The property offers good amenities, but maintenance needs to be more consistent.
Thoughtfulness
Some guests have expressed appreciation for the welcome goodies and items left in the fridge, which suggest a degree of thoughtfulness. However, as these gifts are not mentioned by all reviewers, they may not be a consistent offering for every guest.
