In a central location, very comfortable and reasonable price especially considering we stayed during the local music festival

Absolutely nothing

Central property, really handy for onward travel

The skirting boards and window sills were very dusty There was a very slippery area at the corner between the path and the back of the building

Nice location, really east to gain access and great communication from the vendor. Absolutely beautiful drive to the area and accommodation was outstanding. Only stopped for a short night but would definitely recommend and return. Many thanks!

Nothing I can think of.

Comfy bed, pillows ok (rather flat). Breakfast nook had tea bags/pods, instant coffee, nesquik, sugar and one pack of two biscuits (cookies). The water kettle is a dispenser that automatically dispenses water as soon as it’s hot, so you have to have a cup under there or water will dispense everywhere (ask me how I know!), but be sure to have the large cups under there because the amount dispensed will spill over the small tea cups capacity. There was a carafe of water for guests, but you can’t refill it anywhere in the room because it won’t fit under the tiny bathroom sink. Tips on these details in a guest information book would be much appreciated. Unfortunately, there is only one chair/seat in the room, so if you're traveling with a partner (like I was), one of you will have to sit on the (carpeted) floor to eat breakfast, unless you don't mind sitting on the bed to eat. We don't eat in the bed, so it was a bit awkward. If you are traveling by bus heading to the Islay ferry, it is very near the bus stop. This is primarily why we chose the property. The bed was comfy, while the pillows were ok. If you don't mind rather flat pillows, then they are acceptable. The Internet was a bright spot—fast and easy to access. This property has lots of potential.

First off, the GPS coordinates are inaccurate, putting you on the other side of the street/highway up the road from where the property truly is. This is not necessarily the host's responsibility, but the signage is not very obvious from the street. I had to call Shamsul (the host) to figure out where the property was. Luckily, he is responsive! There are two keys: the one for the outer door of the building doesn’t actually lock the door. The room door key is an old style skeleton key, which is not reassuring regarding security. The external entrance has a potentially dangerous threshold that nearly tripped me multiple times. It is apparently designed to prevent water entry. I couldn’t figure out how to lock this door. The entry door to the room is hard to open on account of the floor/carpet level right at the door. Upon entering, the bathroom was not clean (3 large spiders, pubic hairs and urine stains on toilet), which leaves one questioning the overall cleanliness of the room. When we arrived, the water had not yet been turned back on, so Shamsul had to come by for that. After notifying him about the state of the bathroom and inquiring who would clean the bathroom for us, he cleaned the bathroom. We shouldn't have had to ask. The room smelled of must and repair work (construction materials). There was no hair dryer. The shower is tiny if you’re taller than 6 feet tall (~180cm). A visitor guide on how to use the shower controls would be useful. It was unclear how the towel warmer and indoor heaters work, so a section on that in a visitor guide would also be useful—especially in winter. There was no waste bin in the bedroom— only in the bathroom. The room curtains were ok and provide basic privacy from the street, but little more. They let in a LOT of summer light (when sunset is after 10pm), so bring a sleep mask if you need darkness to sleep. It would be nice if they kept light out more efficiently.
