2/10 Horrible

Be wary - two adjacent cottages
The big problem is the single building is two cottages, separated by a paper-thin wall. This is not clear in the property description. It is also the opposite of Bookabach’s claim that “you get the whole private home”. The upstairs bedroom (& living room) in the cottage is immediately adjacent to the neighbouring cottage. On our first night, we were woken up by the neighbours arriving at 10 pm, hearing them walk up and down their stairs, talking, etc. It was like being in a hostel (not a “private home”). I called the owner, who said that if we wanted to leave, she would refund our stay (we were never fully refunded). We then spent until around 1 am trying to contact Bookabach to cancel the booking, and then booking a new place for the next night (not easy as this was during school holidays). We were then woken up again at 7 am by the neighbours leaving. The wooden structure is very noisy, lots of creaking and general sounds as people move about - inappropriate for conjoining two cottages.
It was to difficult contact VRBO when realising the accommodation was sub-standard and misleadingly advertised. Try it – there is no general contact number or even email.
My advice is the obvious – only book once you have read ALL the reviews, and if a property has few reviews, don’t go there.
Overall, the property would be fine if there no neighbours. But under no circumstances would I recommend staying here if you were unsure whether somebody else was in the next door unit.
