10/10
as a fan of one Lord Byron I was excited to stay here. the staff at the museum and the surrounding neighbors were so helpful, and thank goodness for that! as someone who came by cab and unfortunately arrived later than planned because both trains I took to get there arrived late - finding the keys after a 20 minute walk from the front gate to the Abbey was nearly impossible! first of all the check-in instructions have no code for the main gate in order to access the grounds. So it is impossible to access the cottage itself, I was literally told by neighbors to jump the gate! Thankfully, the warden Tracy, was around and was able to help me, and I didn’t have to jump anything. However, the instructions to getting the keys from the lockbox are near impossible to understand. I would ask the people in charge of this listing to be more specific and not just say “parking area.” when it comes to finding the lockbox – as there are exactly 3 different parking lots. Simply saying something along the lines of the parking area at the cottage would’ve cleared up things immeasurably. Instead, I was left wandering around with my suitcase in the blazing heat.If it wasn’t for the friendly neighbors, I would’ve ended up sleeping under an oak tree. I would also suggest giving anyone who rents this cottage not just the key code, but also the code to opening the gate. I cannot imagine what would happen! besides that, I had a wonderful time! and kudos to the staff being so lovely and helpful.
