Unsafe, black mould-ridden dilapidated hazard; AVOID!
I booked this house hoping for a peaceful bushwalking getaway with my dog, but unfortunately the experience was the opposite of relaxing. The house was so covered in mould it made me physically ill, and I had to leave early.
I arrived after a hot, rainy week and nothing had been done to mitigate the effects of this. As a result, the entire house was a damp, dark, foul-smelling cave of mould and damp. Despite opening all windows I began having respiratory symptoms (coughing, throat clearing, breathing difficulties).
The owner is fully aware of the mould issue and yet has done nothing to address it. She has not taken even basic measures to prevent it; no bathroom exhaust fans or moisture absorbers and all windows are kept tightly shut. There is a dehumidifier but it’s up to guests to use it.
When I raised the issue with her, she tried to write it off as “surface mould due to recent rain”. I actually live in a mould-prone apartment that gets occasional surface mould. This was extensive mould (including black mould) on the furniture, floor, doors, walls and window frames.
She then tried to characterise me as “sensitive” to mould. I am not; I live somewhere mould-prone with zero issues. I’ve honestly never experienced a reaction to anything like this in my life. I needed to use Ventolin for several days.
The only measure taken was one cleaner sent for approximately an hour after I left to “wipe down surfaces”. This is wholly inadequate for the scale of the infestation. It needs a specialised deep clean.
Overall, the place is a state of neglect and disrepair. It is extremely dirty under all the furniture. Owner appears to believe this is "original character," however peeling paint, rickety doors, bare dirty floorboards and thick coats of dust and mould are not "character". They are the result of years of doing less than the bare minimum and hoping guests won't notice. Avoid at all costs and definitely don't bring kids here.

It was a quirky place, not modern at all but comfortable.
Communication with the host was good. The heating worked well and the main bed was very comfortable.
The kitchen tap needed repairing but the owner was happy to have that feedback and will fix it. The shower over the bath was a little awkward to use but the water was nice and hot and had good pressure.

Good location in a quiet street with a super comfy bed 😊
Good location, quiet street but close to the shops and train station, super comfy bed.
The house is getting a little tired and needs a little love put into it.
