Quaint and quirky
I took time on the second night to enjoy the outdoor bath ..superb..
Clean and comfy
The walk up the stairs was a bit of a challenge at first with my bags but once I did it a few times didn't seem so bad. I have a sore knee so it took time

Magnificent & romantic!
It was so romantic and had everything you need for a couple! The bath was perfect, the pizza oven perfect, the bed novelty and comfortable! Shower pressure amazing. Fragrance of sandalwood so good. Weather perfect and room was warm on arrival! Outdoor heater splendid and the ambience delightful!

Overall we enjoyed our stay here
The outdoor seating area was the highlight for us.
Outdoor heating and the lighting made it enjoyable to sit outside at night and unwind after the day
Bathroom is on the smaller side and makes it harder to use if bigger built

It's a mixed bag really
I like the idea of this place, it's kind of cute. We didn't find enough time to try and make a pizza in the oven but I appreciate that all the utensils and some ingredients (along with flour and various spices) were provided. It also felt private with the trees around and foldable screens, even though there are other houses around.
Sadly i have some complaints.
First of all, it was pretty dirty, especially in the kitchen area - utensils were not properly clean etc.
It smells damp and moldy inside, especially in the bathroom. We ran the extraction fan constantly but it didn't do much. For my coffee I didn't even use the sugar provided in a jar because I believe there's mold formed under the lid. Pretty unhealthy conditions.
The "living room" area is pretty pointless - so much place to sit on the "couches" and yet there's not even a small coffee table inside, so what do you do there just sit? Honestly I think replacing this whole area with a proper fixed bed would be better, then you could even hang a tv on the wall.
Yeah the bed is not great, after you get over the novelty you realize it's pretty hard to level it properly and the matress is too soft/wobbly.
The outside bath is yet another good idea that wasn't properly executed. I assume its role there is purery recreational, yet it's too small to fit 2 people inside (while it looks there's enough space to fit at least a bit longer one).
And in general this place is pretty run down and needs some renovation, some stuff is just plain damaged - for example there's a coffee plunger, I used it once and realized it's leaking. After taking a closer look I saw the glass is chipped at the bottom.
Oh and I have to emphasize that this place is REALLY tiny. Barely bigger than a campervan. It looks both bigger and overall much better in the photos than in real life.
All in all, it wasn't horrible but in my opinion the rating here on booking is waaay overly optimistic.
