Owner's reply:
Thank you for your review. We very much welcome your feedback. With regards to your comments about the step in the kitchen and the stairs, Maytime Cottage is over 150 years old and it is typical of a property of that vintage. There is a paragraph in the 'about the property' section of our listing which describes the features of the cottage and suggests that anybody who needs further access information contacts us to ascertain whether it is suitable for their needs. I'm very glad though, that overall you enjoyed your stay, and would consider visiting again.

Thanks very much for your review. Could you drop me a line to let me know what specifically wasn't as clean as you would have hoped? We are keen to make sure everything is as clean as possible for each party, so it would be very useful to know what wasn't up to scratch.
