Well I am quite shocked by the 2* review. Never has this happened before. Guests who arrived after these guests left (3 separate bookings, and booked on another portal) all left 5* reviews. These Guests had problems when they arrived, as they locked themselves out as they were unloading their suitcases - but I got someone there within 15 minutes to let them in. Maybe this bad start got them off on the wrong foot. I had a water tank burst in the winter (this was on top of the roof) and this caused some of the kitchen cupboards to expand. But everything still works ok and it hasn’t been a problem for my other guests. I have regular guests who return year after year. If you didn’t know about the leak, then you wouldn’t even notice. So, I expect these German guests examined everything throughly. As for the cleaning - sadly my usual cleaner’s dad passed away. She had to go back to the UK for the funeral, so whoever cleaned in her place, must not have done a thorough job. I am sorry these guests feel this way. But I really do feel that the 2* review is very harsh. My villa is on a great development, near the shops, restaurants and the beach, in a beautiful part of Cyprus. This alone warrants more than 2*’s. But I have learnt over the many years of renting holiday homes, you can’t always please everyone. It’s a shame they didn’t contact me at the time with their grievances - reading this review is the first I have heard of any problems.

I am very sorry this guests experienced some problems. I had arranged to have work don’t on the outside of my property in the winter (new pool liner, new coping stones and new stamped concrete all around the pool) Cyprus experienced the worst winter for over 100, and all building work got delayed. The work was finished, but the pool got filled the day after their arrival. As any homeowner knows, appliances can go wrong at any time. The fridge did break and had to be replaced, and the guest did not have to stay home while this happened. My property manager would have seen to it. It was their choice to stay in the villa. The hot water is heated by solar panels. But as the weather was not good (and the winter had been bad) the immersion had to be put on to get hot water. This is when it was found the element needed to be replaced. This tripped the fuse. Full instructions are given to my guests if the fuse trips and it is easy to reset. The safe is working and the instructions are kept just above it. I was the next person to stay (and am still here now) and the safe is working perfectly. Some guests just can’t work it out - despite instructions. The property had been empty over the winter just like all villas are empty over the winter months, as the season is from April-November. The guest was definitely not a trouble shooter for further guests, as I have been renting this property for 9 years. It’s just unfortunate what happened and could not have been foreseen. The HomeAway website shows exactly where my house is, and is correct. The beach/sea are just a minute away - as the crow flies. But There is no direct route from the development to the beach from the back, so you have to walk out the top of the development which adds 5 minutes to the walk. It really isn’t far! (You can sometimes cut through the farmers field.... but he blocks the ways at certain times of the year) I did answer the guest once they contacted me, but on checking my HomeAway account, it seems the message didn’t go through. I was unaware of this, and did wonder why I hadn’t heard back from her, as I’d offered to refund the money for spoilt things in the fridge. I will now make sure my message goes through and refund the money. Once again - I am sorry they experienced some problems, but glad to hear they were dealt with efficiently by my property manager. I really want my guests to have a great holiday, and every effort is taken to see this happens.

Glad you enjoyed your stay Craig! I hope you come and visit again soon 😊

Thanks for the lovely review Nicci - I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay! I haven't been to the Cove yet, so will have to pop in when I'm there in October. I've eaten in the Pig'n'Whistle several times, and have always enjoyed the food. I hope you come and stay again soon!
