We did enjoy the cottage stay but unfortunately wouldn’t stay again the cottage was in a great location but quite dangerous entering and leaving the property due to it being on a very busy road. One of those mirrors to see oncoming traffic would be a good idea. The cottage had a little musty smell and floors not too clean the grandchildren’s white socks all went in the bin. Also the grass in the garden hadn’t been cut and had quite a few nettles which were a worry with the grandchildren and the dog. Quite good value for money but unfortunately we won’t be back

Overall gd. Lounge furniture uncomfortable. Patio door in lounge doesn’t shut properly. It would be good to have blind in 2nd bedroom and bit better storage in 2nd bedroom. Inside patio door and facials and guttering could certainly do with a clean which would help the outside appearance. A couple of shrubs in back gdn would help . This seems a bit negative but overall was pleased

The location of the property is excellent. It is less than 10 mins walk to the beach. The property itself is comfortable and warm, and well equipped. A dishwasher rather than a washing machine would have been welcome though.Wouldn't hesitate to book it again.
