“On entering Seaview Cottage (no view of the sea or any water!”
) we were overwhelmed by the smell of damp which was particularly bad in the kitchen/dining room. Unfortunately there was no signal to the TV and the shower room had a cracked tile. Mr Barr acknowledged the issues with the TV and after a few days had a sky dish fitted which solved the problem, he also said he had plans to tank the walls in order to deal with the damp problems. The other issue for us was the constant noise of traffic from the dual carriageway which was within approx 25-50 metres from the property. Due to the gardens location it was difficult to get full use as all equipment for barbecues etc needed to be transported to the garden, including furniture. This could be a really comfortable and charming cottage, which has all the things you need (dishwasher, microwave fridge freezer etc.) but requires a face-lift and some TLC, in a great spot for touring the lakes and surrounding area, unfortunately due to the noisy road and current condition of the cottage we will not return.
