What guests are saying
On arrival the house appeared lovely.
It was neat and tidy, very well presented. The kitchen was well equipped with some quality utensils and dishes. Plenty of storage for our grocery delivery and a generous welcome pack. Thanks. However there were a few issues that we found simply did not fit with the quality of the property. There was no washing up liquid, the sponge and cloth left for our week were inadequate. The sponge fell apart on the second day. There was a couple of spray cleaners but they were both close to empty. We tried to keep the place clean but with such poor equipment it was not possible. The listing states that all fuel is included but there was no wood for the fire, just a bag of kindling and three fire lighters. A previous listing suggests that the sofas were uncomfortable and I found this hard to believe looking at them, but they were indeed awkward to get comfortable in. The thing that was most concerning was the level of mould in the main bathroom. I tried to shift it with cleaner that I bought but I had no joy. It was very unsightly and also smeared across the tiles. Also the shower dripped all the time and it was difficult to stop it through fear of wrenching the taps from the wall. Eventually we had to put towels in the cubicle to muffle the sound at night. The towels were stained with brown marks. We put them through the washer but they also would not shift. After stripping the beds at the end of our stay I found stain on the mattress and there was not mattress cover or protector, just a sheet. Made me feel quite uncomfortable about what I had been sleeping on. While the walk to the wonderful beach was so lovely and overall the stay was pleasant, I do feel the property needs a deep clean and a revamp of the bathrooms. The shower room also appeared to be leaking into the lounge.
2nd stay at this beautiful cottage, Ideal spot for attractions, lovely enclosed garden, safe for all ages.
Would definitely book again. Ideal for large family. Phil.
Brilliant cottage, spotlessly clean, comfortable and so well equipped.
Everything easy to work - cooker, TV, heating etc and a lovely rear patio where you can relax. Despite one or two reviews commenting on the parking it presented no difficulty to us at all. In short, we had a lovelt week enhanced by the good weather.
