    Not good for taking small dogs up and down.

    Crockery was dirty and incomplete. Broken knives, only 1 cereal bowl. Only cottage I've stayed in that didn't provide basics like cleaning products and kitchen towels nor adequate bath towels, not even a welcome pack. Mattress and bedding had seen better days, all stained. Pretty disappointing on the whole. Only positive is that it was central.
