171 Seatown

Snug little place felt like being at home.

Everything that we needed. Nice and handy for the beach that's the one reason I booked it as I have stayed in those cottages before.

Not that easy to find due to street numbering.

Cosy and comfortable accommodation generally, a bit dated. Efficient heating and hot water. Kitchen really tight for space for 2 adults to work with unnecessary number of chairs and table too large for the space. Downstairs bedroom very cramped and bedside lighting inaccessible. Stairs steep and a bit tricky. Shower room very cramped, I noticed a few cleanliness issues. Great shower. Better use could be made of the Mezzanine, a free standing clothes rail with hangers would be useful. There are a few hooks for clothes in the cottage but only one coat hanger! A few unfinished repairs/decor issues detract from appearance. Having said all that, great location, easy access to the beach and lots of nearby street parking. Being pet friendly a bonus!

Disappointed with aspects of the property.

There is not an enclosed garden, it said on details it has. I specifically chose this property as one couple had a dog. No curtains in the ground floor bedroom, had to put a bin bag at the window. Several areas within the cottage could do with a coat of paint. The bedding whilst clean was very crushed. The stairs are an accident waiting to happen, at least have carpet strips. It said one parking space, not sure where you would park? Location is great but everything else was below average.

The cottage is typical of the area with small rooms and sloping ceilings.

Clean and tidy, filled with family pieces giving it a homely feel. The stairs are steep, with shallow treads and would be difficult for those with mobility or balance issues. We are in our 70s and managed with caution but a friend who visited found them extremely difficult, especially going down. The shower is tiny and crammed in the space beside the sink which you have to negotiate to get in. The downstairs bedroom has a double bed which fills the room leaving no space for luggage. Upstairs has more room but nowhere to hang clothes. We used the airer on the landing. We could only get BBC programmes on the television. The kitchen is basic but adequate. There is no garden but space for bins and parking for 1 car. It is well situated for the beach and Cullen and its surrounding towns and villages are always worth a visit and for that alone it suited us.

We had a wonderful holiday!

It felt like being in a home, you could properly relax, rather than a show house. We were steps from the beach which was amazing for us and the dog. Slightly tricky for taller people, my husband is 6 foot. We had everything we needed in this lovely compact home from home. We will definitely return. A couple of things that would make the cottage even better, a better bread knife, hooks for coats as you come in and a bench outside. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.

It was a lovely stay with a beach on the door step will use again

The cottage is in a lovely location but the cottage, as discussed with the owner, was in somewhat need of TLC.

we had to report a number of issues, which were repaired straight away but it did not get the holiday off to a relaxing start. The owners were lovely and gave us a gesture of good will, however it meant we didn't really relax fully. I would suggest a bit of maintenance would go a long way for any future visitors.

Lovely location.

Very short walk to beach. (30 seconds) Beautiful location. House was comfortable. Comfy bed. Wonderful shower.

Superb location in amongst the charming, higglety-pigglety cottages of the seatown, 171 is within a short walk to all 3 beaches.

Perfect for popping back for lunch or after a swim.The cottage is compact but has everything needed for a seaside holiday with plenty of radiators and hot water, welcome after a day on the beach. The owner was easily contacted and very helpful.
