Clean. Comfy beds. Quiet location. Lovely big yard.

− Upon arrival we were sent back away as the room was not cleaned. We were unable to lock the front door. No information about wifi or local restaurants in the room. Ran out of toilet paper with no extra rolls anywhere.

− When I arrived, I hadn't yet received any instructions on how to check-in. I had requested an early check-in as well as queried whether this accommodation was fenced. I received no answer for either questions. Because I hadn't heard from the hosts post check in time, I parked on the side of the road in front of their gate, waiting. There was a gentleman raking leaves and whatnot in the yard next to the accommodation and when I finally got out of my vehicle to check if there was a key or any instructions for me, he decided to acknowledge me then. He told me to open the gate, but as I stood there trying to figure out how, he finally came to help and graciously showed me where to park. As I parked, he told me he hasn't cleaned the room yet and to go eat (already had), so I waited. When he was done 'cleaning' I attempted to go into it, however his dog wouldn't go away with him. He just sat beside my car, staring at me. Now, this wouldn't have been so bad if my dog (who was beside me) wasn't as reactive around other dogs as she is. I didn't know what to do. I told the man we were waiting to go in until his dog left because my dog gets too anxious when other dogs are around. He smiled and nodded, I reckon due to language barrier he didn't actually know what I said. We probably waited 20 minutes in the car until I got out and ushered the dog away and felt so bad doing it. I started to bring our things into the small place, and while I did that, the gentleman host lit a big bonfire of the dried foliage, which burned for quite a while. I don't want to be rude but the smell of the smoke billowing into my room made me really sick. Massive headache too. The table smelled strongly of beer. There was a plastic chicken breast container in the drying rack with the cling torn off the top, so it was open to air where the clean dishes are meant to go to dry. The last straw was the bathroom. Very yucky.

Comfortable enough; quiet; very disappointed with the misleading description.

Peace and serenity abounded. The outdoor under-cover area was a pleasant place to relax.

− Inaccurate description - TOTALLY misleading. Appropriate self-catering facilities rather than a ramshackle extension out the back with too many appliances plugged into the one power board; poorly positioned lights; and cooking device with no instructions and only one 'pot' (a wok) suitable to use on it. Using this cooker and the microwave at the same time caused the safety switch to activate.
