The cottage has the potential to be a really lovely space but its currently nit. Decor is tired, damp patches, cracks and dirty walls evident throughout. Furniture is cheap and poor quality. Sofa is awful - almost unusable due to how poor it is. Bedding (pillows) are terrible, mattress is not great, nothing matches, bedside table is literally falliRead moreng to bits (I have a video) handrail on stairs came off in my hand almost causing me to fall backwards down full flight of stairs. This has been an issue previously as you can see where it had been mended several times. This is a real concern. I have photos of all of this. The soft furnishings were not very clean, mattress protector stained, table dirty. It just feels uncared for and thats a shame as its in a perfect spot for exploring the area. Hide
