Could be a lovely cottage
This could be a lovely property & appears to have been recently renovated to a good standard. However it is let down by several maintenance issues (one bedroom & bathroom window not opening or closing properly, bedroom door not closing, broken and ill-fitting toilet seat), and the quality of the mattresses and bedding which was really poor when compared to the most basic Premier Inn/Travelodge. Although the host was very responsive, this was only after chasing check-in details the day before our booking & he would not have been able to resolve the key issues in the few days we were there. The cottage seemed quite clean in general, but there were dirty dishes in the dishwasher and the oven was filthy. There is also a pub 20 yards away with people drinking outside on the Friday night & live music on the Saturday, so the only bedroom window that did open had to stay closed because of the noise. Altogether not what we would have expected from this listing when we booked, and we left a day early. The host has several property ‘rules’ including external cameras to monitor anyone smoking on the patio - we were tempted to write our own guest ‘rules’ including maintenance checks and a little more TLC & home comforts
