The location was stunning and the cabin was a little gem

The cabin wasn’t too clean. But it is a wooden cabin, very basic. Still, quite some spiderwebs around that could have been cleaned off

"A charming experience"

7.0

Stunning old house. Very well preserved and decorated. The host's pets added a lot to the experience - the were adorable.

There was only one shower for the entire house. The doors were wide open throughout the evening making everything very cold. The breakfast was meagre.

Classical old homestead with furnishings in character. Friendly very helpful host.

Long staircase could be troublesome for some people. Requires care for older people.

"Cool experience"

6.0

Super nice host! Extremely beautiful area. Very clean. Rooms were very romantic and nice decor. Dogs were so cute and friendly. Definitely a cool experience - almost stepping back in time to 1800s.

It would have been nice to have access to a common room to socialise better. It rained when we were there and we felt trapped in our rooms without a TV. Breakfast was something we looked forward to a lot because it was in a beautiful glass porch, although it was prepared with good intensions, it was very underwhelming (limited options). The marketing regarding shared bathrooms could have been made clearer in the website.

"It was decent enough for one night"

7.0

Mary the owner is lovely.The grounds are beautiful.

The only shower was downstairs on the first floor. All the bedrooms are on the second floor which had only a bathtub. The sink downstairs had separate hot and cold water so either the water was scalding or freezing.
