A lovely house with decidedly creaky floors
Sweet Dreams is in a perfect location to enjoy NOTL - and the house itself is quite large. In fact - it’s large enough to profit from some rethinking.
For example - the kitchen is huge - with a nice sized pantry - but the tiny table provided makes the space feel empty. This might not matter if you are only staying for a short while, but cooking does become challenging with the lack of prep surfaces. An island or a larger table would certainly help out.
The outside eating area is quite handy - but the chairs are surprisingly uncomfortable. We ended up having to drag cushions outside in order to use the chairs. And despite a good search, no outside cushions could be found.
The floor in the upstairs is very creaky - as is the staircase. That makes it easy to wake up folks trying to grab a bit of sleep. Other reviewers have also noted this - but it’s hard to describe exactly how noisy the floors actually are.
Sharing a Jack and Jill bathroom between the two bedrooms was more challenging then I’d imaged it would be. One of the doors is directly in front of the toilet - the other at the fair end of the long thin space. So knocking loudly was really the only option. If you locked either door - you looked folks out later in the day because it’s so easy to forget to unlock. We did face challenges.
The living room is lovely - and very large - with a good sized TV. The window ‘bed’ is great as well. But curiously - the sofas are set at right angles to the TV. I wonder why.
