The beds were extremely comfortable, bedding clean. Hob clean oven could have been cleaner. No instructions on how to use them. Toilet and handbasin in bathroom clean.Cottage very close to the steam railway line. Cottage in a good location for seeing all the local spots. Anglesea was just a very short drive away. Now for the not so good things. Curb appeal not good out side of the cottage had a great big puddle you had to walk through to get to the door. Outside of the door was very dirty. On entering the cottage the door frames and the walls were very grubby. The windows were very dirty, not been cleaned in a long time. On the floor of the sitting area is a rug which is fraying and turned up at one corner a serious tripping hazard it is also becoming thread bare. On a closer look at the kitchen area things were not that good. Toaster dirty, pot that held kitchen utensils was very dirty on the outside, old food and grease all over it, looking on the inside it was discussing, filthy dirty I would hate to think what bacteria was living there. I had to wash the utensils before I could use them. Very heavy cobwebs all over the walls heavy with dust and grease, been there for a while. (not new cobwebs). The oven hood was thick with greas and dust, not been cleaned in months. Going up stairs the floor on the landing is wooden planks but they had been covered in a sticky back plastic which had started to split and the split plastic was very sharp and not good if stepped on in bare feet. Thick cobwebs covered in dust hanging from the light Main bedroom not to bad at all, just dirty windows on the inside other than that it was acceptable. Bedroom 2. Very small with a very high bed. Shelves hanging on the wall. Shelves were screwed on through a rope that held them up and the wooden shelf glued to the wall. One of the shelves had come away from the wall and could not be used. The head of the bed was right by the window. The window ledge was about 18 inched below the mattress of the bed. The window ledge was thick with dust, hair and rubbish, the windows were the dirtiest by far. Something had been splashed all down them, some white substance that had ran all down and was all over the window. Not nice at all. The venetian blinds were broken. Also the cord of the blinds were not secure to the wall and could quite easily get wrapped around a child neck. Also I do not understand the flashing christmas lights on the ceiling, someone who sufferers from light sensitive epilepsy could have a turn. Every time the light is switched on (even if you change the setting ) they come on at a fast flashing rhythm. I had to unplug it. Bathroom. The shower cubical was dirty human hair stuck on the inside of the cubical, an awful smell coming from the plug hole. On looking at the plug the waste pipe was mouldy and a black slime and hair down it. The plug itself was even worse had not been cleaned in a very long time. The smell was bad. A black waste bin was under the sink the top of it was very dusty and behind the bin was hair dust and fluff a shelf that went along the wall from the sink to the side of the toilet was also very dusty, human and dead insects along it. The bath towels are only a little bit bigger than the hand towels and would not even go around a child. Dust pan and brush, dust pan very dirty brush broken no handle. This cottage needs a deep clean to make it hygiene and bring it upto a 4 star rating. I would rate this as a 1 star This cottage could be a very nice place to stay if a lot of work was done to it. Also instruction to putting the rubbish out would be a good idea. Luckly for us the neighbours gave us the information we needed for putting out the bins for collection.

The only issue we had was drying wet clothes and towels as the radiators were not really suitable for that and there was nowhere to hang them outside.
