This cottage is advertised for 6 people, with the downstairs accommodation being advertised for teenagers or grandparents, it is definitely not suitable for 6 people, especially when the family has teenagers. The downstairs accommodation is damp and smells of damp, with patches of mildew/damp on the walls and visible signs of moisture on the wallRead mores, this room made my teenagers' skin and clothes smell of damp. The kitchen is not very well equipped, only 6 items of each cutlery and crockery, no roasting pans for the oven, I wanted to cook a chicken but had to use the grill pan. The fridge/freezer is tiny, with broken shelves, that are held together with masking tape, I managed to fit one shelf into the runner but as the shelf was broken it didn't hold on the runner and the food fell off the shelf. The cottage is dirty, needing attention to the floor, bathroom area, The table only has 4 chairs; yet the cottage is advertised for 6 people. The outside are is overgrown with a very smelly plant, the seating was dirty and needed a good clean. The ground floor of the cottage is very dark and dingy as there are only overhead lights in the kitchen are. Hide
