    “Loved the actual house but the bed was terrible!”

    … it was like sleeping on concrete … seriously that bad … it was stone hard … i think the owners need to sleep on it a night to see how bad it is … it has a separate pillow protector over the mattress but this didnt help at all. Very let down by how awful the bed was … my partner said we might as well have slept on the concrete floor in the garage there … also lots of Ants in the kitchen even after the kitchen dishes were cleaned and put away and benches all wiped and clean … ...

    … it was like sleeping on concrete … seriously that bad … it was stone hard … i think the owners need to sleep on it a night to see how bad it is … it has a separate pillow protector over the mattress but this didnt help at all. Very let down by how awful the bed was … my partner said we might as well have slept on the concrete floor in the garage there … also lots of Ants in the kitchen even after the kitchen dishes were cleaned and put away and benches all wiped and clean … definitely need some professional help with sorting out the Ant problem. Tv is an old flat screen with cheap free view old school connection … we decided it was over priced for how bad the bed was and how old the tv was … for the price we were expecting something the same quality as the home we live in … owners definitely need to reconsider these things if they want to charge that top dollar fee per night

    Hi Tracey, thank you for providing that feedback, and glad to hear you loved the house. We were sorry to hear you found the bed too firm, but the owner has agreed to replace it based on your suggestion, and to address the ants. Thank for sharing those concerns, and we hope to host you again. Bachcare
