Not private as another house on same land and a missing curtain on main doors. Two different codes given. No paper to light fire or milk to make a cuppa.

Thank you for your review, it does state in the listing that there is another house, this is a huge section with plenty of space between the houses. Unfortunately we do not put curtains on front doors, and this door does not face the other house at all. To help you with future stays it is always advisable to communicate during the stay rather than two days after check out. We are very responsive hosts and deal with issues promptly and efficiently, any missing items would have been supplied.
