A wonderful cottage for a large gathering.
A wonderful cottage for a large gathering. However, the cleanliness was not up to standard. Bed sheets were not clean. The carpet needed vacuuming, there was dust on the skirting boards. Bins had not been emptied and there were no spare bin bags. It was disappointing considering that the cottage had a lovely atmosphere.
