Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the property described as well-equipped and having everything needed. However, some guests noted issues with maintenance, such as damp and the need for refurbishment.
While many reviews express satisfaction with the property's offerings, there is no specific mention of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so a score cannot be given.

It was our first time using an air bnb and we honestly had a wonderful time. The hosts were very professional and helpful. The white whale was very comfy, clean and had everything we needed and more. We were able to park around the back which was a bonus. We will definitely be back.
