Needs cleaning! Black mould in the shower cubicle is disgusting. Big cobwebs in the lounge and the lounge floor mat is filthy, I had to move it as I couldn't stand looking at it . The place is also way too hot, we had to have the windows and patio doors open. No instructions for the heating in the cottage and the controls did not respond to my attempts to turn it down.

Quiet when we went but bare in mind the ferry queues outside and the road markings have worn away. Great for short breaks but wouldn't want to stay for a long walking holiday as not much storage for hanging wet coats and boots. Excellent walks from the door. Very spacious and comfortable bedroom on suite. The lounge mat could have done with a good clean as could the oven. Overall very nice but some general updating will be needed soon.
