8/10 Good

Always a good stay

This is a third time we stayed in the apartment. As always a lovely experience. Pool and sauna were great as well as the log burner that kept us warm and cozy in the evenings. Bed is exceptionally comfortable. Will come back again for sure. Only downside was that no one swept up tons of berries on steps and in garden so when we arrived it was extremely slippery and unsafe, so had to do it ourselves. And also no frying pan to fry bacon so had to resort to frying in a wok.
Response from VrboOwner on 15 Oct, 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your comments following your stay. We’re so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your visit overall, but we’re truly sorry to learn about the issues you encountered on arrival. We completely understand your concern regarding the berries on the steps and garden area — safety is very important to us, and we appreciate you taking the time to clear them yourself. We’ve passed this on to our housekeeping and maintenance teams to ensure this is properly checked before future arrivals. We’re also sorry that a frying pan wasn’t available in the kitchen — this should certainly have been provided, and we’ve arranged for a replacement to be added right away. Thank you again for bringing these points to our attention, and we hope to welcome you back for a more seamless experience next time. Warm regards, The Fresh Escapes Team

Peaceful location Tell us the road is closed right next to the property so following your directions doesn’t work Provide toilet roll (not one there when we arrived and remote location meant very annoying) Accommodation not clean enough, bathroom and general areas grubby Terrible shower just a trickle and not that hot Hot tub never heated up despite following instructions Light to shower/sauna area in pool broken so couldn’t use those facilities
