Guests say
Wayside Cottage is praised for its cleanliness, spaciousness, and well-equipped nature, offering a comfortable stay with a lovely garden and proximity to beaches and local attractions. While some minor maintenance issues and dated decor are noted, the overall experience is positive, with many guests planning return visits.
The majority of guests found the cottage to be spotlessly clean, with only a few isolated incidents of cleanliness issues which seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to beaches, nature reserves, and local pubs, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.
Guests generally found the cottage comfortable, with a warm, homely feel and a garden that adds to the relaxation, although some noted the decor is a bit dated.
The cottage is well-equipped, but some guests mentioned minor maintenance issues and a lack of certain basics. There is no mention of a tumble dryer, which could be a drawback for some.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to assess this category.

The bonus of a lovely garden and closeness to the sea. Home was spotless and linen fresh and white. Thankyou

The heating worked extremely well which was fortunate as the house was cold when we arrived. Although rather dated the house was generally comfortable. Security light wasnât working so needed phone light to use door key and a large doormat to protect the carpet would be helpful( we used a large dog towel on the floor) as would a large plastic boot/ shoe tray. Better instructions for the oven needed ! Nevertheless , we had a lovely week and thought the house was good value for money.

We also didnât have any heating in the lounge or hot water. The maintenance company were able to provide bedding and did offer a clean the next day. It took 2.5 days to sort the heating but we were without hot water for 4.5 of our 6 days in the property and are still waiting for recognition of the impact on our holiday despite returning home yesterday. Despite the outstanding rating this is a no frills property which would benefit from a new mattress in the front bedroom and an update of cutlery. Having stayed there on numerous occasions this is disappointingly not what we are used to
