    “The cottage has some great amenities - hot tub, two bathrooms, and comfortable beds.”

    But the general grubiness and lack of cleaning of surfaces, kitchen items, floors etc lets the whole home down. There was a dead mouse next to the fridge, which while maybe not unusual in a rural location, if the house had been cleaned recently or inspected would have been noticed.

    But the general grubiness and lack of cleaning of surfaces, kitchen items, floors etc lets the whole home down. There was a dead mouse next to the fridge, which while maybe not unusual in a rural location, if the house had been cleaned recently or inspected would have been noticed. Shower had 5 hairs in it, surfaces in bedrooms hadn’t been wiped, kitchen floor and cupboards were dirty when we got there. All of the chopping boards had visible chunks of food on them, having been put away dirty, all the frying pans and plastic boards needed a wash before using, there was broken cups and dirty cups in the cupboard. Also the internet box is on the wall in a bedroom and casts a bright blue light across the room. It’s unfortunate as with a proper deep clean I’d happily recommend the home
