Whilst Tean is a pretty, bright and welcoming cottage, the standard of cleanliness and decoration is poor. There was dust and cobwebs, squashed moths on ceilings, rusty radiators and ironing board, dirty pots and pans, broken blinds, sofa arms and under cushions were filthy, the washing machine covered in mould, peeling paint in bathroom and stains from pet accidents all over the carpets. The oven doors were brown with cooking stains. The fridge was yellow inside with age. This accommodation really needs a deep clean and re-painting and whoever is doing the cleaning needs to be replaced. On the plus side, the bedding was clean as were the sinks and toilets. The views from the windows over the estuary are beautiful and it's in a lovely location. It is clearly a well loved cottage and despite all the above we enjoyed our stay but it really does need a serious upgrade.
