Had to wash pans and crockery before use only 2 dishwasher tablets for a week. No new toilet roll on rings. Needed a really good clean. Hand marks all over glass and windows from previous guests. No carpet on stairs or anywhere upstairs tatty rug on floor in back bedroom. Stained mattress protectors. No blind at bathroom window at front of house. Loose floor dirty boards, no curtains in lounge. Grass needed cutting, rusting nails in pieces of wood in what looked like originally a raised bed. Way overpriced. No bag in vacuum so couldn’t be used as we have a dog. Left early. To top it all Road was being dug up access very difficult!! On a positive views lovely.

Poor cleanliness - mattress protector dirty, pillow dirty. Woodworm beetles in bedroom wardrobe hence all clothes needed washing when returning home even if not worn! Original Cottages were informed and were sent photos. All staff were pleasant and hopefully our next stay (in different property) will be better.
Mr McDermott
Excellent place to stay, perfect for the dog, she loved the big grass lawn, only a couple of miles from the beach too. Lovely and spacious, we had a great time here and would definately visit again!
