Nice property, but room smelt of damp

Lovely property, friendly service, delicious breakfast and lovely scenery. Unfortunately the bedroom smelt very badly of damp. Obviously a problem/leak, which spoilt our stay somewhat as the smell was so potent. Wherever prepared the room must have known as the window was open and there was a diffuser in the room to try and mask the smell.
