We changed the dates of our stay and feel we were charged for six nights rather than five. Host was unable to resolve the issue.House was spacious with a lovely sitting room in the back. The yard was unkept and outdoorfurniture was too dirty to sit on. The inside of the house could have been cleaner. The beds were not comfortable and the bedrooms were small. No dryer made washing and drying clothes difficult although a drying rack was provided. The kitchen was reasonably well stocked. furniture was too dirty to sit on. Clean ##### Heather M.
