This cottage hasn't seen any maintenance in years and looks nothing like the cottage advertised. On our arrival we were met with stained carpets damp walls, a smoke alarm disconnected, a rusty old mattress on the bed and bed sheets covered in stains. The rear garden had long since seen better days and there was dog poo bags thrown in the gutter. We contacted the owner who agreed the property was in a disgusting state. We ended up staying in a nearby hotel at his expense. He promised us he would replace the mattress make things right the next day. We gave him the benefit of of doubt and allowed him to try and rectify the situation. Unfortunately when we returned to the cottage nothing much had been done other than place a very large king sise mattress on a small double bed frame which looked ridiculous and was even more ridiculous trying to sleep on. The sheets didn't fit the mattress and my wife and I didn't have a comfortable night. Subsequently we cut our stay short and left the next morning. This level of contempt for the people who are renting holiday cottages only serves to ruin the trade and damage British tourism.

Cottage had faulty smoke alarms which had to be removed as they went off constantly, scaring the dog. Could have done with a back door outside light when letting the dog out in the garden. Cottage itself was cosy.
