The village is great and interesting. However, the property would get a higher rating from us if the owners would put some elbow grease into cleaning the property properly. The fabric sofa needs a good scrub if not just a vacuum. The floors were all filthy and the downstairs floor needs a good scrub with the upstairs carpets needing a good professional cleaning. We brought our whippet and made zero mess with her. Just because people can bring dogs doesn't mean you shouldn't clean properly. We returned home and both have nasty colds. Hmmm...
