The cottage is lovely but it wasn’t cleaned when we arrived and checked in. They sent a cleaning team after we got in touch with the management company and the cottage was only cleaned at 10pm.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 August 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry again that the cottage had not been cleaned prior to your arrival. This was an unacceptable oversight and not representative of the standard we usually deliver for our guests. As soon as you contacted us, our team responded immediately and the issue was escalated directly to the director. The cleaning team were contacted straight away and attended the property that evening, completing the full clean with a complimentary bottle of prosecco as an apology for the disruption. We fully appreciated the inconvenience this caused at the beginning of your stay, which is why we also provided significant compensation, including a full refund for your first night and the damage cover. We are pleased that once the issue had been resolved, the remainder of your stay went smoothly and you were able to enjoy the cottage. While we completely understand your disappointment with the arrival experience, we hope the immediate response, same-evening resolution and compensation demonstrated how seriously we took the situation.

The host has clearly invested a lot of money into the property, and the cottage is very cosy, tastefully decorated, and conveniently located. However, we were advised by the host that, as long as my parents were able to use stairs, they shouldn’t have any issues. In hindsight, I would recommend being particularly careful if staying with young children, older people, or anyone with balance or mobility issues. The stairs are narrow and steep, with a twist at the bottom as you enter the living room, which can make them difficult to navigate safely. There is a handrail on one side, but extra care is needed. There are also several changes in floor level throughout the property: a step down into the cottage garden, a step up into the entrance, a step down into the living room, a step down into the kitchen, a step up into the bathroom, and a step up into the bedroom. The upstairs floors are also on a gradient. At the top of the stairs, there is a cut-off newel post, which is another potential hazard to be aware of. Overall, while the property itself is lovely, these features are worth considering when deciding whether it is suitable for anyone with mobility or balance difficulties
