Beautiful cottage with a stylish, well-appointed kitchen. Cool decorations. I loved the pictures on the walls. Fantastic selection of books. Great kitchen appliances and an awesome fireplace. Once the place heated up it was cozy.
Unfortunately, the host's cleaner stated I had "left out" perishable food and uncleaned dishes which apparently took 45 minutes for her to clean. I was then asked to pay an extra 45 dollars to compensate for this extra effort. This puzzled me because, as far as I know, we had washed all the pots and pans by hand and left them on the drying rack and put all remaining dishes into the dishwasher which was set to wash-cycle. We also did not leave any food "out", as far as we know. I asked the host for clarification and after 24 hours received no response. I would advise perhaps taking photos before you leave to avoid this confusion in the future.
