Hi Nicola
Thank you for renting us your granny cottage. It looks really pretty and cosy on pictures, and has a lovely feel to it and great amenities (we really enjoyed the Chrome Cast). Unfortunately the cons heavily outnumbered the pros. Both mould and sleeping arrangements are simply not acceptable. The first thing we've noticed was a stench. We opened the door and then left it open for a few hours trying to get rid of the heavy smell of mould and dust. Unfortunately it never went away, maybe because all the furniture especially mattresses and dirty sofa bed are mouldy... And talking about beds- the only bed that is ok to use is s double bed. Both single beds were just awful, we couldn't sleep a wink, especially with tiny window that didn't get much air. Second night we've tried sofa bed in the living room, but it was even worst, both smelly and uncomfortable. I could barely walk today, felt like I've slept on metal poles all night. It's such a pity as the cottage could be really lovely place, we love the quirky feel, but a good night sleep is essential for a place you're renting to use as a base to explore the surroundings. I think changing the sofa bed and giving small beds new mattresses is absolutely must. Not to mention the both kitchen and bathroom would both do with few racks/hooks- the currently one rack in bathroom for 4 people's towels was just ridiculous. And please clean the place, mould everywhere, especially beds and bathroom, dust and cobwebs are not ok in Airbnb and couse us a lot of coughing.
After reading the reviews I've expected something totally different, and was quite shocked to find it in a state it was. I hope our honest review will help others avoid the disappointment and discomfort we've experienced. The lack of sleep totally ruined two days of my holidays, do not make this mistake guys!
