  • "Booked last minute for a 3 night break."

    Accommodation easy to find with directions given. It waswas spotlessly clean and well equipped. Welcome pack was much appreciated, thank you. Within easy reach of bus stops, making it ideal for coastal path walking. Will definitely recommend. Thank you for a great holiday. Sharon , Paul and two happy doggies.

    Thanks very much for your feedback. I'm delighted you enjoyed your stay and hope you'll visit the area again. Property Owner

  • "The cottage was very cold and damp on arrival, we put the heaters on when we got there but it took all evening to warm up."

    It would have been great if someone could have left them on for us. There was lots of broken crockery, chipped mugs plates and bowls. The rug in the living room was meant to be green, but was actually a very dirty worn brown colour. The curtain rails in the living room are broken. The living room is very cold and draughty there are gaps big enough below the living room window to see outside. The bathroom blind doesn't work either. Overall I was very disappointed in the accommodation it seemed very unloved.

    As the owner of the property, I’m disappointed that you were unhappy with the cottage. The heating had not been switched on because the day of your arrival had been warm and the forecast did not indicate a cold night - I’m sorry that you found it too cold when you arrived. We have checked all of the crockery and, out of over 50 items, 2 small dishes and one side plate had small chips - we have removed them as there are plenty of other bowls and plates in the cottage. The curtain rail is not broken - the cosmetic end pieces were slightly loose. The bathroom blind had developed a fault and is being replaced. I’m disappointed, and surprised, that you did not contact us while you were there as we provide a contact phone number and have people on call who could have checked and resolved your issues very quickly.
