Highly dissatisfied
The location
Upon arrival the BEEPING SMOKE DETECTOR was heard from our vehicle. This continued EVERY 40 SECONDS for the entire 2 day stay. Despite multiple emails to both booking .com and oasis stays no physical action was taken to resolve the issue. Many emails stated that it was being dealt with asap!
The smell, to that similar of rodent urine, hitting you in the face when you opened the door and the pungent odour in the bathroom was also no pleasant.
The fire place that was highlighted in the features had no wood, kindling or matches provided to enjoy this.
Whilst inside the property allergies and sinus issues were experienced by both occupants. Prior to vacating the cottage blinds were drawn and mould was noted on bedroom 1 window and on futher inspection it appeared to be on the roof also. Bedroom 2 also had rotten window sills. There was also mould in the shower.
The couch was terribly uncomfortable and one of the dining chairs was unstable.
The TV also didn't work with the remote buttons not visable and the batteries taped together. The DVD player also didn't work.
After reading reviews on another booking site it appears that alot of these concerns have not been addressed for over 5 years. However it appeared that the property manager on that site was more responsive to the concerns.
The cost of the property certainly did not reflect the quality.
This stay was meant to be a relaxing weekend away, with the main aim being sleep and how is one meant to do this with a beeping smoke alarm.
THIS WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE. I will not book future properties through this system given the lack of action to resolve concerns when raised.

Great location, great space, however, many unresolved issues needed to be fixed for a pleasant comfortable stay
Location was great with comfortable clean bedding.
Many broken items- glasses, umbrella, remote control, fire alarm (with no battery) sofa leg. Sofa broken and extremely uncomfortable. Septic tank smell, weeds filling garden. Bbq filthy and unusable

Overall happy with the price we paid but there could be a few changes made for improvements
Great location and definitely plenty of room for a group!
Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and plates.
Beds were comfortable and clean!
Bathroom was large and nice shower.
Felt secure with the gate lock and front door lock.
Heaters in living room and two bedrooms worked very well!
There was an awful smell that stayed consistently throughout our stay. It smelled almost like a drainage issue but not too sure. Even when we aired it out all weekend it still smelled horrid.
There was a general feel of uncleanliness, floors weren’t clean and there was quite a few already broken/chipped glasses/mugs.
The sliding doors did not open which was a shame as we had such nice weather.
