The bedding and the bathroom seemed clean. There was some black on the white caulking around the tub. The back of the bathroom door was dirty. Around the main door there were gaps and the wind was whistling through the cracks. There was some stains on the ceiling too. The first room was very musty and my daughter had to change rooms because the roof started to leak. We had 2 rooms.

I have stayed here before in their two bedroom cottage. It was excellent. There was a couple with young children looking after it and they were very nice. The place was great. But this time I was in a room that was next to a person who kept a radio on all night. There was no relief from it—I could hear every word out of it. The bathroom has cobwebs in the corners. The sheets on the beds seemed very wrinkled. I was disappointed, but I don’t think that the same family is looking after the business at this time of the year to be fair.
