Beautiful holiday house

Very clean and charming house with lots of character. We thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay. The house had everything we needed (having a dishwasher was great). As someone with a bad back the bed was amazingly comfortable, to my great relief. We'll definitely be back!

Cute Little House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great house with a nice, sunny front verandah. Perfect for a winter getaway. The only downside was that the oven didn’t work. We had bought all of our groceries before the trip, so it was pretty disappointing when we couldn’t cook half of the meals.

Horrible

We did not stay in the house at Hat Head. We opened the door, walked through. It smelt bad, the appliances and furniture were ancient and smelly. We closed the door and went elsewhere. Do not recommend.

Lovely Hat Head

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property is old with new windows and doors in the main bedroom kitchen and living area. The shower has good présure and the water is nice and hot. The clothes dryer need’s to be updated as there is a bearing noise even with a light load of clothes or towels. Washing machine and the dishwasher both work well. The cottage is comfortable enough would stay again.

Disappointing the property was not as listed

There were no blinds at the large glass windows and glass front door it was uncomfortable being in full view to any pedestrian or neighbours. The main bedroom had sheer curtains that were see through at night. Nothing included byo everything I have never stayed anywhere as unfriendly and unwelcoming The area under the house was exposed and not safe for our dog he had to be on a lead at all times which is not dog friendly in our books. Please check and have the owner make suitable changes before being rented again to other unsuspecting tenants being misled by photos in the advertisement.
