Owner's Response: I found your feedback quite insightful. The furniture is dated: – I would say about 50% is not just dated, but old. There are 3 items that are over 100 years old. The kitchen table and wine rack in dining room – are distress furniture – old furniture that is not tarted up (shabby chic/vintage furniture). I should have made it clearer that the house is furnished with a combination of antique/vintage/retro/shabby chic) Over the years we have endeavoured to source furniture and paintings to give a quirky and individualistic theme. I was quite surprised that you felt that there were not sufficient plates etc: I just need to remind you the crockery that is available during your stay is for 6 guests. 6 cups, 6 cereal bowls/soup bowls, 6 side plates,6 dessert dishes,6 pasta dishes, 6 medium dinner plates +, 6 large dinner plates+, 6 glass tumblers, 6 small wine glasses, 6 large wine glasses. There was a wide selection of salad and serving dishes, including a china teapot and gravy dish. For your stay, the house was prepared for the 6 guests that were booked. If 8 guests were booked there would have been 8 of everything. The property manager who greeted you lives close by was not contacted to express your concerns about the lack of crockery this would have been addressed. From your feedback, I have learnt that I need to provide clearer information about the house and how it is decorated and what is available during stay for 6 or 8 guests.
