    “We recently stayed at this house for a friend’s wedding, and overall, it was a great base for our group of 8.”

    The location was fantastic—close to everything we needed—and the views were absolutely stunning. The house had plenty of space, which made it perfect for a larger group like ours. That said, there were a few issues that took away from the experience. When we arrived, the house wasn’t as clean as we expected, especially considering the cleaning fee.

    The location was fantastic—close to everything we needed—and the views were absolutely stunning. The house had plenty of space, which made it perfect for a larger group like ours. That said, there were a few issues that took away from the experience. When we arrived, the house wasn’t as clean as we expected, especially considering the cleaning fee. We found dead bugs, spiders, live cockroaches, and lots of ants throughout the house. The downstairs toilet had visible stains, and we ended up spending our first morning cleaning. There were also some maintenance and setup issues. As others have mentioned in reviews, there was no hot water upstairs on arrival, and no instructions provided. Thankfully, we had read a previous review and knew to check the fuse box. The gas for the stovetop was turned off, and we had to locate the gas bottle (hidden behind a fence) and turn it on ourselves—only to find it was nearly empty. One of the downstairs beds wasn’t made, which was a surprise since we had paid for linen. Despite these hiccups, we had a really enjoyable stay. The house itself is lovely and well-suited for groups, but we do feel that more attention to cleanliness and guest readiness would make a big difference—especially when guests are paying extra for those services.

    Thanks for your feedback and for choosing this home as your base for the wedding—it's great to hear the location and space worked well for your group. We’re sorry to hear the cleanliness and setup didn’t meet expectations. This isn’t the standard we aim for, and we’ve followed up with our local team to address the issues raised, including pest control, cleaning, and clearer instructions for amenities. We appreciate your comments and are working to ensure a smoother experience for future guests. Bachcare
