We have stayed at Stambar several times over the years, but unfortunately we've noticed the standard has declined with each visit.The biggest disappointment on this stay was the hot tub. It did not appear to have been cleaned before our arrival and wasn't maintained at all during the five days we were there. By the Thursday, it had developed a musty smell and no longer felt clean enough to use, which was very disappointing as it was one of the main reasons we booked the cottage.The cottage itself was clean, but there were still maintenance issues that should have been addressed. Some of the doors did not close properly, and although we opened the patio doors to enjoy the lovely weather, we struggled to get one side closed again. Once we finally managed to shut it, we didn't risk opening it again, which meant we couldn't fully enjoy the outdoor space.It's disappointing because we've always enjoyed staying at Stambar in the past, but the declining standards and lack of maintenance have unfortunately put us off returning.
