adequate stay with some drawbacks

perfect kitchen private table missing towel early checkout

the kitchen was perfect with all the amenities i needed. a very nice private table area was available out back (i enjoyed having my coffee there). the location seemed pretty good as a hub to visit various towns.

it was quite hard to find the place, even with the instructions provided. i had to drive around for a while. there was no tea towel available. check-out was at 10 a.m..

missing tea towel early checkout reminder

the location allowed for easy walks into the forest and to a local pub the pub offered a welcome pint after a long day.

i found the lack of some essential kitchen items irritating there was no tea towel or washing sponge only a brush i also received an early reminder about checkout it felt a bit premature and added unnecessary stress to the morning i think a gentler approach would be more appreciated.

the private outdoor patio area at the rear met my needs for relaxation and offered a space for quiet enjoyment of the surroundings

finding the place was difficult instructions were provided but they lacked specific details about the exact location on the street the mezzanine bed also presented issues the ladder was not fixed securely and the risk of hitting one's head on the ceiling was high

the accommodation furnishings were of excellent quality. It was very well equipped with lots of thoughtful touches. I liked the private outdoor patio area to the rear of the accommodation.

Finding the location was quite hard. The location pin on the map covers the whole street. The instructions didn't specify on which side of the street the apartment is. A tea towel and washing sponge WERE absent. Only a brush was present, which wasnt comfortable to use.

inaccurate map unsecured ladder

The place was tricky to find. the map pin wasn't accurate. It showed the whole street. instructions helped a bit, but not enough. also, sleeping wasn't the best, the mezzanine bed felt a bit unsafe. The ladder wasn't secured properly. it reminded me of i could easily hit my head.
