Guests that stayed at this property said
The property generally maintains good cleanliness, though some guests reported issues with stained bedding and dirty marks on arrival. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than a common trend.
The cottage's location is highly commended, being a stone's throw from the beach and around the corner from the high street, making it an ideal spot for visitors.
The cottage is described as cosy and warm, with a comfortable bed and homely touches. However, concerns about steep stairs and suitability for the elderly or young children slightly affect the comfort score.
Facilities are adequate with some room for improvement. Guests mention the need for TLC, with issues like broken handles, lights, and sockets. The kitchen and bathroom are noted as clean and reasonably good.
Thoughtful gestures such as leaving a bottle of wine are appreciated by guests, enhancing their experience. However, it should be noted that such gestures are not guaranteed and may vary with each stay.

Firm comfortable double bed. Good heating for cold days. Superb central location, just yards from the prom and the high street. Recommended!

Lots of lovely local shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs. Had an excellent lunch at the Swan and several pints of Adnams at the Sole Bay Inn. A cautious warning about the steps to the kitchen - I almost fell several times! Apart from that it was a lovely break!

The extras such as candles, throws on sofas, made our stay very homely. The only points we thought of were the heating. We were a bit hot, and would have changed the times of the heating being on. But understand the need to cater for all, and we did use the radiator thermostats. Also maybe an extra saucepan? We will be back!
