A very tired and not very clean property unfortunately. We were just lucky the weather was nice and we didn’t have to spend much time in it! It needs a good deep clean (cobwebs and mould and thick dust everywhere). Dirty carpets , whole house seriously needs a paint. The bathroom is in a very poor state. Hot tap won’t turn off, bath won’t drain(we had to fix it ourselves). And mouldy…. There is a hotel/pub next door which has some kind of ventilation fan that runs constantly so sitting outside isn’t pleasant either! Despite all of that we did have a good holiday but that was largely due to the weather. We won’t be using Cottages. Com again I’m afraid if this is the standard of their properties
