Guests that stayed at this property said
Cleanliness has received mixed feedback. Some guests found the cottage to be spotless, while others reported it wasn't cleaned to their satisfaction. The presence of cobwebs and a dirty kitchen in some reviews suggests room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its easy access to both the North and South bays and local amenities. Its proximity to the beach and town centre makes it an ideal spot, though it is noted that the area is hilly and may be challenging for those with mobility issues.
Comfort is generally well-regarded, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy. However, some guests noted that certain rooms were a tight squeeze and that the property could be cold, indicating some comfort concerns.
Facilities are mostly appreciated, especially the well-equipped kitchen and the inclusion of modern appliances. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as stiff door handles and low water pressure, suggesting that some facilities could be updated or repaired.
Guests often mention the thoughtful touches, such as welcome packs and small provisions, which add to the charm of the cottage. It's important to note that while these gestures are appreciated, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

The old doors were ill fitting and caused big draughts. We were cold all weekend. There were no blankets etc to wrap around us. The warmest room in the house was bathroom. We didnt use the kitchen at all

It was very clean and really well equipped with everything you might need and more . It was close and in walking distance to the seafront . The beds were really comfortable and good bedding . It wasn't the biggest of cottages but great for small family or two couples. We had a lovely welcome pack with coffee tea biscuit that we appreciated Would definitely recommend.
