From what we saw on Vrbo and what we had was a little different. The house has way too much furniture and very little space to move around in the dining room and bedroom on the first floor. The lighting is very poor and I would give the cleanliness an 8 overall. You could see that the floors had been cleaned but only around things, there appeared to be no waste cans, etc. moved to clean. The kitchen was adequately stocked , the toaster is not the best. The gardens outside were very lovely, ;unfortunately, we were not able to enjoy because of the weather. I believe that this could be a great find if there was less clutter and lighter curtains and better lighting. The towels in the bathroom, main floor, were in need of replacement, not sure a couple of them were even clean,. We did have an issue with ants in the cottage bathroom, I think that was because of all the rain the previous week. Another thing, the closet space was very limited. The loft had no close and a share with the large bedroom upstairs was necessary-not really a problem for us. The hairdryer in the downstairs bath should be cleaned or replaced. Maybe removing the old wallpaper and painting the walls a light color would be a nice improvement. The property did serve our purposes and an easy walk into town was nice.
