The shower could do with a squeegee as the floor was soaked after and there was a white bath mat to soak it up which was filthy after one use. Parts of the cottage were tired and broken - the windows didn’t shut well, the blinds were damaged. The WiFi didn’t work the whole time we were there which cost us more in data. External lights to help parking and safely getting to the door in the dark were insufficient. Location was great though. Plenty to do.
