Sep 17, 2023 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Lovely cottage shame about the smell The cottage and location were lovely. The private parking space was too small and very awkward to access. There was plenty of unrestricted parking in the road. The property was not adequately prepared between bookings. The cleaning did not deal with the overpowering smell of curry powder that lasted till we left. ##### Marilyn B.
