Disliked: Cleanliness
Great location
This house is very well situated and it is a very quick walk to the ferry and into Hamilton. It was spacious and well designed for our family. We got off to a rough start as when we arrived it had not been cleaned from the previous occupants. Beds were slept in and the house was clearly not ready for new guests. It was very tricky as we arrived on the Sunday before Christmas. We were fortunate enough to contact the Host (even though it was out of hours) who apologised profusely for the error and worked hard to find someone to come and clean it. We were unable to move in until 8:00 pm that evening meaning we had to cancel the dinner we were hosting and eat out instead. As we had food (ham, chicken, turkey) with us ready to cook, this was problematic and expensive for us. Having said that both the host and the owner were very apologetic and offered us some financial compensation. IDespite the frustrating start, we did enjoy our 9 days here. The most disconcerting thing was that the owner has a granny flat as an internal part of the house. Whilst the concertina doors were locked there were gaps that you could see through (both ways) and we were never sure if someone was there or not. One night, there were lights so we were a bit confused. I really think they need to include this in the description as we were under the impression that we had rented the whole house. Overall we would stay again as it served us well.
