Too many clouds

Lovely barn conversion, beautifully decorated. Could've been cleaner, to my standards, toilet seat upstairs needs attention (very loose)also the stairs, safety hazards. We had a great time other than that. Thanks Anne Marie

Beds are terrible

Property is beautiful, no doubt of that. It’s quiet and on the outskirts of town. Too far to walk to dinner or for coffee. They charge a cleaning fee so I was surprised to find dirty dishes in the dishwasher and someone else’s rubbish in the bin. Fridge also needs wiping out. The main issue though is the beds. Perhaps they ran out of money when it came time to buy beds and bedding, but new pillows are definitely in order as well as proper fitting bedding and beds. The beds are cobbled together frames, box springs and mattresses. Both beds are very high which won’t suit everyone. One bed is covered in a 3” thick down topper covered with a well worn very thin sheet that is too small so only goes halfway down the mattress and peels off when you move. So thin, you can feel the feathers poking you while you’re trying to sleep. But it’s far too soft. The other bed is very high and quite hard. Also ill fitting sheets. Sleep is the priority in a rental so put some cash into the bedding!

First, I am very sorry you weren’t completely happy with your stay. Yes, we are about a 20 minute walk to restaurants; I don’t think I advertised otherwise. Giving a bad review on something that wasn’t promised seems very harsh but I thank your for your comments and will take them all into account to assist with improvements. Your main issue seems to be with the beds and bedding. The bedding is from Restoration Hardware so I am surprised you found it not up to standards. All mattresses are new (less than 4 months old)and most of the pillows are as well. As for the beds being cobbled together, that’s an interesting statement given one bed weighs almost 200 lbs. it’s a very expensive iron bed and has a very high quality mattress as well as a down filled mattress topper with bamboo sheets. As for dirty dishes, in the dishwasher, they were actually clean dishes. Sometimes there is limited time between guests and although I turn the dishwasher on to make sure dishes are clean there is not always time to put them away. You are the first guest on VRBO or AirBNB to give less than a 5 star review so I am very surprised your experience wasn’t better but I do appreciate the feedback and will aim to do better.
