  Disappointing

  Bed was comfortable .

  Bathroom was outside in a separate building to the living area. Needed to be locked and unlocked after every use. Heater didn’t work in living room. Dryer didn’t dry clothes properly. No washing powder. Cooking facilities limited to microwave. No free to air TV

  Utmost Comfort - a perfect stay!

  An incredibly comfortable experience. The bed and bedding - I didn’t want to ever leave! The bathroom was a dream, with a huge bath. Great water pressure and temperature in the shower. A washer and dryer. Robe and slippers. And so spacious and peaceful. A perfect stay.

  Delightful - one of the highlights of our trip.

  Lovely cottage with very comfortable bedroom, lots of lovely little touches which make such a difference.

  A detail - buy with our cottage you had to go outside and then through the communal laundry room to get to our loo and bathroom!

  Bring your own commode and mirror (and batteries)

  The only highlight was a comfortable bed with large windows and view (fyi: there’s no upstairs a/c so you must open the windows to release the built up heat). The bed provided some relief after returning with personal items from the outdoor toilet area. With my hands full, I landed hard and hit my upper back on the railing on the slippery steep stairs (size 11 feet didn’t fit well on the shallow steps).

  I can’t speak to the other units, but to help others: if you require a toilet, sink, and mirror within your immediate living quarters make sure you are NOT booked in Amuri Villas’ “Loft.” The Loft layout is confounding. (We’ve traveled the world staying in lodging ranging from camping or glamping all the way up to luxury hotels). When not camping/glamping during hiking season we avoid anything resembling an Airbnb; we prefer professional, on-site lodging staff and available housekeeping. We thought we had booked a room in small Inn. We arrived on property during the 3-6 pm check-in window with no one on site. We stood in the driveway facing unmarked buildings after a multi-hour drive wondering where to “check in.” A gust of wind blew a white piece of paper taped to a door. We cautiously approached. A hand scrawled note contained a phone number. We texted it and waited for a response while our bladders pulsed. The owner informed us she was at another lodging facility miles away and directed us to look under a mat for a key. That was the last we heard from anyone associated with Amuri Villas. From the Amuri ‘Loft’ sleeping quarters be advised that to reach what can only be described as outdoor plumbing you must climb down steep shallow stairs, fumble with locks in the dark of night, cover your feet and robe up, and carefully navigate more deck steps in the nighttime chill simply to relieve yourself; now do it from deep slumber. (We minimized our liquid consumption and were thankful it didn’t rain during our visit.) You also must carry your toiletries and clothes through a laundry area with what turned out to be a non-functioning washer, dryer and utility sink to access a standing shower that didn’t drain well. In the downstairs sitting area we couldn’t figure out how to turn on any lighting; the remote held dead batteries. We discovered a kitchenette area under the stairs behind a hidden compartment best suited to hobbit-sized people.
