Trek to bathroom
The bathroom was a trek down the hallway and the taps were nearly impossible to get your hands under the water

Host is a great guy and property is beautiful! Decor around the house is luxurious in a old victorian vibe. Only downside is that bathrooms are abit far from rooms and the door was not very sound proof. Other than that, it would be a great place to stay for a gettaway!
