The property accomodates 4 adults in two bedrooms and two bathrooms and is well equipped. The owners communication was excellent with arrival instructions and they responded very quickly to a problem with a dehumidifyer, can't ask for more than that. A suggestion from us would be perhaps 2 x 2 seater sofas in an L shape for the TV rather than the 3 seater and a chair and some better quality cutlery (its a bit small and childlike) but this is only a personal preference. The view from the kitchen window is simply magnificent.

We have had a lovely stay in Gull rock, the cottage was clean and warm the views of the bay was lovely the kitchen was kitted out nicely The only thing that slightly let it down was the movement noise from the flat above as it is an old cottage the floor boards were creaking when people moved about if you can cope with that then you will have a lovely time The tv does not get normal channels as you have to use IPlayer to get any channels which was a let down as it kept dropping out and us not able to watch anything, in the winter months a tv is essential when it goes dark even we took a radio to get music but again being down in the valley doesnât get any stations it could do with the owner using sky to allow visitors to have that total package but thatâs the only negative we can or want to give we really loved our stay thank you
