    “Although the cottage was comfortable and clean it looked very tired in places.”

    The external grounds were not at all as depicted in the photos. The lawns were unmown, weeds over the paved areas, hedges uncut and generally unkempt. There was no BBQ as listed and no separate area with the swings.
