Mould on the ceiling & walls in the bathroom as no extractor fan in there . Light fittings in the bathroom very dirty and grimey . Windows need attention as 2nd double bedroom no latch on the window and very rotten . Also other windows need attention. . 2nd double bedroom wardrobe as soon as clothes are put in there it will fall on top of you so be very very carefull . Kitchen tiles coming off around window . All the mugs hanging up all dirty and greasy . Only 2 saucepans no good for a large family staying . No toilet roll holder in bathroom. no games room as advertised had to hunt for the towels as none left out no battery in clocks . Had to hunt around the cottage for light bulbs for living room as most wasn't working . Cooker only 3 rings that work and its very old . All i can say is the cottage is very uncared for . if a large lorry goes by about 4.30am in morning the windows will rattle very busy and dangerous road and the traffic will wake you up very very early . This is the first time in the 10 years I have left a negative feed back for a cottage . Just could be doing with a lick of paint inside and out . It was nice of the caretaker to tell us about a piece of land he owns with a picnic table by the stream it was very nice as there is only a small seat at the cottage .

. the quint features low beam ceilings.quite secluded yet not that far from local villages with plenty of pubs and tea rooms to choose from all within short drives. The beaches are quite pebbley but ok. The walking and hiking options seem endless in what is a very nice part of England. Would definitely recommend the old Inn.

The king size bed was not a king size bed as I'm over 6ft tall it was rather uncomfortable and when we went to clean the cottage we found the Hoover didn't work which isn't a big thing but we couldn't clean the cottage as well as we would of liked to otherwise it was a lovely cottage
