I would not recommend this cottage though for a number of reasons: 1) Wallpaper hanging down on the sloping ceiling above the bed in the twin room. 2) Hole in the wall by the table in the dining room. 3) Kick board removed from under the dishwasher etc in the kitchen and left leaning against the wall in the dining room - which I'm guessing had something to do with the ant killer bottle nestled in between the microwave and the kitchen roll in the kitchen. 4) Door to the bathroom was broken and wouldn't remain shut without being locked. Not ideal when you have children who want privacy on the toilet but are at risk of locking themselves in. 5) Paint peeled off a whole section of the kitchen door.
