Pardon me but your adjectives are running wild!

Is this sentence correct?

Five small lovely Irish green wooden cottages for rent.

Wrong! Why?

The right order would be

Number, opinion, size, age, shape, color, material or place of origin, purpose.

You can construct a little acronym or mnemonic to remember.

Let's try this.

Nosy agent shapes colored mud on porpoise?

Don't like what I wrote? Give it a try, make it as ridiculous as possible, after all what's your imagination for if it's not for dreaming up something extraordinary, funny and wild?

So the sentence would now change to.

Five lovely little green wooden Irish cottages for rent.

That wasn't difficult, was it?

Have a good day. See you on the next lesson.
