Guests say
Bella Vista is a charming cottage appreciated for its lovely garden, comfortable interiors, and peaceful setting. Its central location on the island is ideal for exploring local attractions and enjoying the nearby beach. Guests have had relaxing stays, with pets also enjoying the space.
The cottage is described as clean by a guest, but there were issues with flies and outdoor pests reported by another, slightly affecting the cleanliness perception.
The location is praised for being central on the island, close to the beach, town, and places to visit, offering a great base for exploration.
Guests found the beds comfortable and the lounge relaxing. The spacious garden was a hit, especially for a guest's dog, indicating a comfortable environment.
While the property has potential, there were significant concerns about safety due to missing alarms and an issue with a wood burning stove. The lack of a smart TV as advertised also detracts from the facilities score.
There is no mention of gifts or special attention from the owner that would indicate thoughtfulness, aside from being informative. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
