What recent reviews say

A sprawling riverside house that sleeps large groups comfortably, with strong air conditioning and spacious common areas. Reviewers praise the size and location, but experiences vary sharply: some hosts proved warm and flexible, others unhelpful or unresponsive to concerns like missing safety fencing, maintenance lapses, and deposit disputes.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Abi Cottage

4.7(18)

The cottage attracts families who value privacy, a working kitchen, and pool access at reasonable cost. Most guests report clean, comfortable stays in a quiet village setting. Occasional maintenance gaps (bathroom fixtures, shared kitchen airflow) and noise from thin cabin walls prompt some to note cleaning and ventilation need attention, though reviewers remain satisfied enough to recommend it for family groups.
