Very disappointed
Very disappointing, main bedroom was in an outside shed which was not mentioned in the listing. The bathroom that serviced this room could only be accessed by going back outside.
Sky light in inside bathroom not sealed around edges which resulted in the place being full of bugs. we only stayed 1 night and left the following morning.
Very dissapointing

Weekend in Inverloch.
On first appearance the property was fresh and clean. However, things like the bathroom window and exhaust fan,taps and a few other things need attention. The couch in the main living area is very uncomfortable as was the mattress we slept on. We are both in our 70’s and having the shower over the bath could have been a problem for people our age, being informed before hand would have been better. The backyard was great for our 2 dogs, plenty of room for them to run around and play as well as space undercover for their crates that they sleep in over night.
