We booked this property expecting a private, secluded stay as the listing suggested. Unfortunately, our experience did not match the description.On arrival, we were placed in a different cottage than shown in our booking photos. It was immediately beside the hosts’ home, with doors and windows facing their house and very little privacy. Later that same day, after unpacking and using the facilities, we were told we needed to move because other guests had arrived. We had about 30 minutes to repack while the next guests were already entering.The correct cottage was much nicer and aligned with the photos, but several issues remained:Privacy is overstated: both cottages are very close to the hosts’ home and each other.Pool access is via the hosts’ balcony, not a private space as implied.Wi-Fi was unavailable, and the TV/DVD had faults.Outdoor areas felt cluttered and unprepared, with spider webs and hoses.No bin was provided (we were given a bucket).Lawn mowing for most of one day disrupted the peace.Once in the correct cottage, we enjoyed the lounge for reading and the modern bathroom, and the male host was friendly and offered wine and snacks, which we appreciated. However, the listing’s emphasis on acreage and seclusion does not reflect reality.This property may suit guests who don’t mind being close to hosts and other guests, but if you’re booking for privacy and seclusion, be aware the reality is very different.
