Nice cottage, overall cleanliness not great, sink in bathroom dirty, oven not clean, lots and lots of cobwebs that had obviously been there a while, could do with a lick of paint, kitchen utensils limited , bed very uncomfortable and an overall musty smell, outside space needs a good tidy up, directions not great .
