Our host was very nice. The cottage was nicely decorated for Christmas, however, there was a terrible smell in the house that hinted of vermin. I also saw a mice dropping on a chair. We cut our stay short. The kitchen had stronger odor. It was disappointing because the house itself reminded me of the movie The Holiday.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 January 2026
So when we went in to clean as we do between every guest, there was no odor, and or traces of mice. However, due to the age of the house, an occasional, Field mouse can enter anywhere. We are sorry that you did not contact us. Because we do have a monthly maintenance crew that comes out to check the area. We do not like to leave toxins around the house as we do allow guests to have pets. We have not in the past,experience any kind of issues! And it would have been kind of you to let us know. Thanks
