The property was clean and fresh
Nice wee cottage but -
The stairs are very steep with a tight turn at the bottom - not for the infirm also there is no banister at the top and you could easily miss your footing going from the bedroom to the bathroom (in an unfamiliar house - fortunately we took a stair gate with us which helped.
The court yard garden is very small and you have no privacy from neighbours so obviously they don’t have privacy either- there is a low wall separating the row of cottages about 4 feet high. We could hear the conversation the people a few doors up we’re having and they weren’t loud.
Having to park the car in the next street was not good - mostly we had to park at the top of the hill - again not suitable for the infirm.
We had an impromptu visit from the owner one evening. He was a very nice man but I personally didn’t appreciate the visit, at the very least a call or text to ask if it was convenient would seem appropriate.
We came home early but that was in part due to the hot weather as our dog wasn’t coping and that’s nobody’s fault.
Overall we were somewhat disappointed.
