Guests that stayed at this property said
There is no direct mention of the overall cleanliness of the property, hence a score cannot be provided.
The cottage is highly regarded for its location, being within a short walk to the town centre, beach, and scenic river walks, making it an ideal spot for guests.
The bed is noted to be very comfortable, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, some guests found the sofa less comfortable and the stairs challenging, slightly affecting the comfort level.
Guests have reported issues with hot water consistency and the television. The lack of cleaning materials and tools for maintenance was also noted, indicating room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
The welcome basket of goodies was a delightful touch, showing thoughtfulness. However, it should be politely noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

Yes the stairs are a challenge but you get used to them. The bed is very comfortable but the sofa is less so. Would have liked to have cleaned up during and at the end of our stay to make sure the property was handed back in good order, but the brush and dustpan is not up to the job. Appreciate that storage space is limited but a small hoover or a long handle broom would certainly help. Location is great, easy walk to all that the town has to offer.

We loved the attention to detail and the large garden. However it was a bit strange for the guests staying in the other half of the cottage to come through to the garden to use the bins.
