“Fifteen of us rented this cottage for 3 nights.”
The first thing we found was poor kerb appeal, weeds, windows needed some repair and the first thing that met us when we walked in was a musty smell. Seeing as the house had recently been occupied 6th-13th July there's no reason it should have smelled musty. As the days went on the smell never went and we realised it was the soft furnishings and carpets that must have emitted the odour.

The first thing we found was poor kerb appeal, weeds, windows needed some repair and the first thing that met us when we walked in was a musty smell. Seeing as the house had recently been occupied 6th-13th July there's no reason it should have smelled musty. As the days went on the smell never went and we realised it was the soft furnishings and carpets that must have emitted the odour. Outside the back door was rubbish in bags which had been torn open by seagulls. There was a blue bin which we worked out was for recycling and not nearly large enough for a house of that size. In the alleyway where a green bin was kept stank to high heaven, the bin bags had been torn open and rotting food everywhere. A pair of socks was found in a bedroom drawer, and a box of 4 stale (June 10) apple tarts were found in another. I found a miniature empty bottle of whiskey under the radiator in our room. I phoned the owner and had to leave a voicemail. They never returned my call.
We found the house wasn't very clean. Most of the bedding had yellow stains. The unkempt back garden was full of weeds including dead plants, mess everywhere and the BBQ could not be used as it was unclean and rusty.
I think I'll leave it at that. None of us would ever recommend this house to anyone. On the plus side there were lots of toilet rolls. And we loved the location.
