The cottage is certainly lived in and needs some tlc. The shower cubicle needs replaced, the bathroom vanity mirror is all damaged, and can not be switched on as the light constantly flickers, the walls are scratched up throughout the property. The cleaning company don’t clean in corners or remove cobwebs. The kettle has rust inside on the bottom, the hob has ingrained stains, the knobs on the washing machine were very dirty. There are a LOT of air fresheners , both plug in and standalone which is not healthy. I realized why on a milder day and we got the overwhelming stench from the nearby chicken farm. That must be a nightmare in the summer months and I am surprised it is not mentioned on any other reviews. Thankfully we did not spend much time in the property. The owner is very pleasant- but it’s time to refurb the property.
