Disappointing. Firstly, the locks did not work properly so it took many tries and almost half an hour to enter the house. I contacted the host and they had no solution besides to keep trying the code. Due to this issue we were scared to leave the place in fear of not being able to get back in. It also took us half an hour to lock the door upon checkout. Also, the place needs some serious deep cleaning and maintenance. The kitchen was absolutely infested with bugs.. we spent 1 hour deep cleaning the kitchen to get rid of the bugs before we could use it at all. I’m not talking regular cottage amount of bugs.. it was a serious issue needing an exterminator. The drain trap in the sink had food gunk in it, stained carpets and pillows, bugs on couch, Also, the place is not well equipped.. empty boxes, very dull knives, broken pots. Also, extreme water damaged floor in the laundry room. It just seems like this host doesn’t care and it was very disappointing. Only good thing was the backyard

We were looking for a place close to the Carden Alvar for birding and cycling so this property was perfect. The cottage is quaint but spacious with three bedrooms and a large family room/dining area. We were out exploring most of the time, but enjoyed our stay. Thanks!
