Led to believe we had the house to ourselves but that night the owner arrived. We just stayed in our bedrooms

Pros:

It was a very comfortable home with plenty of space.

Cons:

The fire was difficult to light bit once going warmed the lounge. Maybe I didn't read the advert correctly but we were not sure if we had the house to ourselves as we received a msge to say the host sometimes stays. This was a bit unsettling until we received a message to say we had the house to ourselves.
