Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Positive feedback: the cottage was spotless clean, it had almost everything we needed. Plenty of room for us all and nicely decorated. Negatives: parking was difficult (esp as this was out of season). It was cold and the cottage’s heating system was just not up to the job in the living room/kitchen/bathroom, so we were all sat in many layers of clothes. There was a working log burner, but no logs (which would have made all the difference). Plus the heating kept turning itself off at what seemed random times, so we had to keep turning back on again while we were at home. Although the garden was lovely and dog secure, the steps were extremely slippery, covered in green algae. There was no inside bin for recycling.
