Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is consistently described as clean and well-maintained, with guests expressing satisfaction with the level of cleanliness upon arrival.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views, proximity to the sea, and the charm of the local fishing village. The scenic beauty and friendly community contribute to the exceptional rating.
While the bed is often described as comfortable, multiple reviews criticise the sofa for being too low and uncomfortable. The comfort score reflects a balance between the positive comments about the bed and the negative feedback regarding the seating.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the property being well-equipped for a holiday stay. However, some guests mention issues with the Wi-Fi, Sky TV subscription, and the lack of a mirror above the bathroom sink, which slightly lowers the score.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the property owner, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Parking , even to unload, is tricky with very little space available. There are some fundamental issues which make it very uncomfortable. The floor in the bedroom is on a slope so the bed slopes meaning you roll downhill. The mattress is very soft and the bedframe has minimal support resulting in a very uncomfortable bed. The bathroom was clean and the shower good but there is only a little shaving mirror. There is a bigger mirror stored at the end of the hanging unit in the bedroom but it is difficult to get out and there is no room to stand it once out. There were brown marks on the towels and sheet (possibly rust) and a lot of dust under the bed, where things like the ironing board are stored, so this was dusty. The kitchen was missing some basic items, like a vegetable peeler and a grater. In the living room there was a bit of clutter which, in a small space with not many surfaces, just gets in the way. The floor of the living room is also on quite a slope so it is really uncomfortable to sit on the sofa as you slide off the seats. The out side area is shabby with old furniture and dead /dying plants and weeds in pots. It really felt like staying in a caravan, but with the price tag of something more luxurious. Not great value for money. Also to note, the property is up for sale which may affect future bookings.

At first, I didn't think it had a toaster, but I found it on day two in a cupboard. The view is unparalleled, and the bed is one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. The village is picture-postcard perfect, and the three places to get food or eat are on the doorstep and serve good food. The local shop is very limited, so don't rely on it for your provisions. We loved our stay in Beach Cottage, which was immaculate with high-quality white goods, but there are a few things that could be improved: there's nowhere nice to curl up with a book as the sofa is very uncomfortableâyou always feel like you're going to slide off it; the outside furniture looks better than it feels and is tethered (probably to stop it blowing away) in a way that makes it a tripping hazard. It also stops it from easily being moved around to follow the sun; there is no way we could lie outside (some foldable loungers would be welcome); a mirror over the basin in the bathroom would be nice; a fan in the bedroom would help on the hotter nights; and, as a final touch, some flowering plants in the pots would make the outside much more charming. But these are all minor and shouldn't put anyone off staying there, if only for the views!
