We had a nice time.
The music from the pub was a disturbance. The bathroom in the room does not offer privacy. The motion sensor lights are too sensitive, go on and off in front of the room window. However, the service was good and the house was tidy.

Wildflower Cottage 's response
Hi Samantha, thank you for your review. I need more information to deal with this quickly and effectively. I have checked with my staff and they have found no markings for bed bugs on any of the mattresses which are regularly wiped down with disinfectant. I can only say that perhaps your bites were from midges which do come out in the late afternoon, or early evening. Nevertheless, I will deal with all the issues you have raised. My house usually gets 5 stars for cleanliness so I am really sorry you had to experience that. I am living in Europe at the moment so it is not so easy to check these things but will make sure that this is all dealt with. Again my sincere apologies.

Location of accommodation good. The house is in very poor condition. Definitely needs a serious upgrade. Bathrooms need upgrading and one has no privacy.

Wonderfully peaceful.
Wildflower Cottage is on the tourist route of Barrydale and we were able to walk to all the shops and restaurants. The cottage is directly behind a famous "pub" where you can go and watch TV if you want, but it was dead quiet at night.

Nice house with friendly porch and garden.
There are electricity problems - warnings of power going out if you turn on the boiler and geyser at the same time!? Is it the owner's problem? The lights in the house are really inadequate - it's very dark. It seems like this is a common problem at boarding houses. Tell them about LED lights please?

Thank you for your review of my house, but I must put you right regarding the electricity. There is no inherent problem with the electricity the house is approved with 35 amps. This I inform each client beforehand in the email I send. I also inform them how to manage the amps so that the amps don't become overloaded. You failed to read my email, this caused a power outage and I had to get an electrician in to reset the machine, not a difficult task but at a great expense to myself. If you had read the email you would have not had this problem. The issue is not the electrics but rather that it was not managed correctly as stated in my email.

It was a reasonable place to stay but don't expect luxury. It is a rustic home.

Thank you for your review. I am sorry you did not get the luxury treatment you were expecting. The price reflects that this is not a luxury home but a quirky and rustic place as you have described. As I always say in my detailed email if you have any issues or problems to contact either myself or my key lady. It would not have been a problem to provide you with more warm bedding, there are wall heaters and hot water bottles to make the place more comfortable I can't imagine why you did not avail yourself of them. As for the dirty washing up sponge, that is a minor detail which I am sure we could have resolved very quickly with a replacement if you had indeed contacted us with your complaints. My description on the website does indeed say that there is no TV or wifi. It's a pity that you did not read that clearly first before you decided to book with us.

Thanks so much Lurinda, for that amazing review. There is a note in the main narrative of the house about there not being any entertainment for the kids, though I am not sure everyone reads all the detail. But now that you mention it, I may just add that people bring along their laptops or tablets with some movies to entertain their kids. You were the perfect guests and left the place so clean and tidy. We'd love to have you all back again.

Cute, neat cottage.
Wildflower Cottage 's response
Dear Juanita,
Thank you for your positive review, it was great having you stay.
I am happy to say the alterations are all now complete and looking great. The bedroom will be increasing in size later this year as will the kitchen with a new kitchenette added to the main bedroom. We probably won't be replacing the queen-size bed anytime soon, as the cottage is small and cute and does not really lend itself to a large king-size bed.
I hope you will come again soon.
Kind regards,
Mary

The lovely little house on the side of Barrydale was a lovely surprise! An old world atmosphere greets you as soon as you open the door. Everything is very neat and clean and the place is fully furnished with everything you could possibly need. The garden was just such a surprise with seats under the trees that really invite you to take advantage! We would use Wildflower Cottage again anytime.

Dear Johan,
Thank you for your lovely review. You were the ideal guests who appreciated the charms of the cottage, not glamorous but very homely and comfortable. We will have lots more improvements by early next year, like a new bathroom, possibly an en-suite as well and also access to Wi-Fi. You are very welcome here.

Beautiful and neat - a real little gem.
Everything was easy and stress-free - from the booking to the introduction to the owner to the arrival and departure. The fact that you have to walk through one room to get to the 3rd room is a bit awkward. However, for parents and young children, it will not bother. There is also no shower, which is a shame.

Dear Elza,
Thank you so much for your positive response, we value all comments greatly and will endeavour to rectify any and all issues that need addressing. The geography of the rooms is a bit awkward at present and not having a shower I can see that it would be a negative factor, though the lack of these are reflected in the price. That being said, plans are afoot to renovate the bathroom complete with a new shower installed at year end. Also, we will be changing the geography of the bathroom leading into the bedroom and open up a new entrance into the house which will alleviate this problem.
We enjoyed having you stay and welcome your return.
Kind regards
Mary

It was lovely and comfy, but not suitable for young kids.
We visited the place for a family event and were very satisfied with the accommodation. There's nothing to do for young people and maybe they should mention it in the advertisement. Basics such as coffee, tea, and sugar were stale and tasteless. The crockery was neat and clean. The fact that they have electricity issues should also be mentioned when you book. The lady who helped us (neighbour) was friendly and helpful. Great rates, that's one of the things that caught my eye.

Thank you for your review of Wildflower Cottage Rene, we appreciate all constructive comments as this will enable us to improve and give guests a better experience. I will mention to parents that they should ensure they bring sufficient items for their children's entertainment. I do ensure that guests are aware of the low amps of the house, due to the house being very old we do send them an email beforehand to inform them of such and how to ensure they have enough for the appliances they need I will add this to the description so they can be aware of this.
Kind regards
