Two words - Bad experience
Few important Reasons:
Not cleaned properly - Sofas and chairs having dirt on it. Cobwebs on windows. Dirt under the bed.
Host very unwelcoming, rude and sounded like we are staying for free.
The double and single bed is actually a bunk bed which is uncomfortable and makes a lot of squeaky sounds.
One of the single bed is kept near the bathroom and has no heating in the area
!! Beware The cottage is right on a signal and the main road !! Expect heavy traffic sound when getting up in the morning during a weekday.
Instead of feeling like home, it felt like walking into a mini supermarket where there is a price tag on everything. Chocolates, Jam, Toothpaste, facewash, laundry etc.
Had a bad experience overall and would not blindly trust Airbnb reviews for future bookings.
Additional note:
The night lamp was not working from the day we checked in and I had asked the host to change it. Instead of just changing the globe, she walks in and around and takes pictures of the place. She took picture/s of the stove at that time. Since we had breakfast and left, the stove was not clean, but we cleaned the stove and dishes before check out the next day.
After check out, she uses the pictures from the previous day to squeeze out more money from us. Very appalling.
As a final note, the house itself was not very bad but the host's behaviour just washed away any goodness in the house and made the experience bad.
