I feel that the property description should include the fact that a busy train track passes right by edge of cottage's garden.. Just a few recommendations that would be of benefit, there was no grill pan, so grill was useless and having some shelving installed in main bathroom would be helpful. - other than these two minuses, the cottage was perfect.

No oven or grill trays
Limited storage in kitchen and bedroom
Open ditch in garden wasn't a big issue as we couldn't have used the garden anyway as it was water logged
Grounds beautiful around the big house
