Guests say
Long Cart Cottage is highly praised for its cleanliness, stunning location with sea views, and overall comfort. Guests appreciate the well-stocked kitchen, the indoor swimming pool, and the thoughtful welcome pack. While some guests suggest improvements for disability access and additional amenities, the overall experience is positive with many looking forward to returning.
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being 'spotlessly clean' and 'immaculate'. This suggests a well-maintained property that guests feel comfortable in.
The location is generally praised for its great views and proximity to attractions, though some guests noted it was further from the sea than expected and not ideal for those with mobility issues or without a car.
Comfort is frequently highlighted, with guests finding the cottage spacious and beds comfy. However, some guests mentioned the need for better furniture and bathroom facilities to enhance comfort further.
Facilities like the swimming pool and well-equipped kitchen are appreciated, but some guests noted a lack of certain amenities such as a handheld shower facility, BBQ, and smart TV, suggesting room for improvement.
While guests mention a welcome pack and the provision of items such as bread and milk, there is not enough information to assess the consistency or guarantee of such thoughtful gestures across all stays.

The pool was nice, just a little bit too cold for my daughter to be in for very long, and the cottage was great. Would definitely stay again

The property was nicely decorated although this was let down by the amount of dust seen i.e TV in bedroom and some doors. Given the list of instructions left for guests i.e stripping beds, emptying all bins and ensuring all kitchen equipment left clean etc we felt a little let down that the rest of the property didnât live up to this. The use of the pool was great albeit limited but this is understandable if all properties are occupied. All in all a nice place but not as homely as other Sykes Cottages.

We chose Long Cart Cottage because one of our party has Parkinsonâs disease, we realise that the cottage wasnât advertised as suitable for people with a disability but it did have an adjustable bed and a ramp into the cottage. We feel it would be a benefit for the wet room to have a hand held shower as well as an overhead one which would make showering for a disabled person so much easier. The second bathroom would also benefit if it had a shower over the bath. Overall the cottage was very clean and comfortable.
