Guests that stayed at this property said

Most guests found the cottage clean and well-presented, though a few noted areas that could benefit from deeper cleaning or attention. The presence of sand and dust in some reviews suggests room for improvement.

The location receives outstanding feedback for its beauty and proximity to the beach. The secluded and peaceful setting is consistently highlighted, although accessibility is noted as challenging due to steep steps.

Guests describe the cottage as comfortable and cosy, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable bedding. However, some mention dampness and a need for TLC, slightly affecting the overall comfort score.

The facilities are generally appreciated, especially the well-equipped kitchen and the patio. However, comments about maintenance issues, such as the need for repairs and updates, suggest that the facilities could be improved.

While the hosts are frequently mentioned for their helpfulness and friendliness, there are no specific references to gifts or special thoughtful touches that could be guaranteed for future guests. Therefore, a score cannot be provided.

    The owner Jim very helpful and accommodating in getting our luggage down to the cottage due to the steep steps down the cliff. However when we got into the cottage we were greeted with unpleasant smell in the kitchen area which we were unable to find source. The cottage in general was dirty & damp, within seconds of myself & my partner taking our shoes & socks off our feet were covered in sand, not sure the place had been hoovered & mopped before our arrival. The kitchen - there was dirty marks around the edges of kitchen and floor & skirting boards, all surfaces & shelves had not been cleaned, the fridge & freeze have started to rust as well as the inside of the microwave, the oven was dirty & door broken. The bathroom - dirty marks still left on the floor & walls, toilet could do with some TLC as it very loose & a new toilet seat is needed, shower area could do with a good deep clean. The living room - mould spores/marks on the curtains & curtain pole starting rust which is starting to mark the curtains at the top, floor areas again generally dirty. The bedroom - fresh clean bed linen & towels were on the bed, however the curtains had the same marks on as the living room, when getting into bed, the bed felt damp each night. I had to clean and hoover everywhere just so I knew it was clean for our stay. I feel this cottage needs a good deep clean as it not like the pictures currently. Also the parking needs to be explained better before booking, you can only park on the main road and have to complete a 15-20min walk depending on how fit you are back up to your car. Coming down isn’t to bad but going up it is a killer, you have around 160 steep cliff side steps then a very steep hill climb along a small service road to get the main road. Location is breathtaking, and worth the decent, I do take exception to paying the price I paid, and being greeted with something that resembles a squat house. Very misleading with the pictures provided and what you are greeted with.

    Property was great. Everything you needed was there, for 2 adults and 2 dogs. We had a fabulous time and weather was great. The owner commented on departure that he had cleaners going in. They need to do a better job, I cleaned the place before I left,because we took 2 dogs,so I moved furniture etc, to hoover this had obviously not been done before our stay ,as snacks we had not taken or eaten were under furniture. Also top of kitchen shelves dusty,but apart from this fabulous.
