The potential for this cottage was great: bedroom, bathroom and kitchen/living space quite good however…Oven and grill needed cleaning as has been left in a dirty condition leaving a strong greasy cooking odour, a lot of dust and cobwebs throughout, didn’t want to look at the air fryer, some of the crockery chipped with food residue, cutlery good have done with a good wash, a lot of the furniture had seen better days and creaked and cracked when sat on/slept on bed, bathroom could do with brighter light, some mould in bath shower area, bedroom drawers collapsed both sides and bottoms falling out in wardrobe. No contact from the hosts to see if all was satisfactory or if we needed anything or had any issues. Would have been good to have some instructions for the appliances and TV which kept freezing the picture for minutes at a time. For 3 nights we coped and put up but would have been very disappointed if we had a longer stay.
