fine locationdamp smellobstructed view

the location was fine and near enough to everything.

i had issues with the room. there was a noticeable damp smell in the "raven 4 bedroom cottage lake view dog friendly". it was also quite dusty in the corners. plus, the advertised lake view was mostly obstructed by trees, and that was a disappointment.
