Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the cottage to be spotlessly clean and well-maintained, contributing to a comfortable and pleasant stay. However, one report of a carpet moth infestation suggests a need for attention in this area.
The cottage's location is highly praised for its convenience to local attractions and natural beauty, offering easy access to walking paths, beaches, and nearby towns. The quiet village setting is appreciated, with no concerns about noise from the local pub.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as cosy and comfortable, with comfortable beds and a warm atmosphere. Some guests noted the cottage's compact size and a preference for larger beds, but overall the comfort level is rated highly.
Facilities at Capel Cottage are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and the added bonus of a wood stove. However, issues with internet connectivity and mobile phone service have been noted, and there were some concerns about the practicality of the shower.
Guests frequently mention the thoughtful welcome pack provided by the host, which added a personal touch to their stay. While these gifts are warmly appreciated, it is important to note that such gestures are at the host's discretion and may not be a consistent feature for all stays.

The pub as good as next door was superb, a decent menu and very nice food, no need to go too far to eat! For late October the weather was quite kind as well, a real bonus. Parking on the road opposite was very easy and it's a lightly used route. Would recommend.

The cottage has so much character, is comfy and was a pleasure to stay in. The host was so helpful throughout our stay also, from offering more fire wood to clean towels. Thank you for much for having us and for our treats on arrival, they were much appreciated. Our only criticism would be the shower over the bath, we found it to be not very practical with water leaking on to flooring.

A perfect location as a base to explore the areas around. For the 2 of us it was fine other than the bed being a little bit small for us. We are used to a super king sized bed but the peaceful village was wonderful. Our friends joined us a bit later and also loved the quaitness of it. They did find the en suite a little bit tight so we shared the larger bathroom for the most part. There were welcome teabags, coffee, wine, milk on arrival to use if we wished. Literally a few steps away to the pub. Parking along a brick wall on the main road but all safe and secure. Lovely, lovely stay. Thank you.
