Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage was found to be clean by guests, with no negative comments on cleanliness, suggesting a high standard is maintained.
The location is practical, close to the seafront and local shops, though not described as particularly picturesque. The convenience seems to be a strong point, despite one concern about the security of the garden gates.
The cottage is repeatedly described as comfortable, with comfortable beds and a cosy atmosphere. One minor note was made about the steepness of the stairs.
Facilities are generally praised, including a well-equipped kitchen and modern bathroom. However, a problem with the shower temperature control was reported, which affects the score.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews provided, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Both the Co-op and Tescos are literally across the road and we enjoyed a fabulous breakfast again across the road at the Auld Cafe. A very relaxing week. Our little border terrier 'Harry' thoroughly enjoyed himself.

It was spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The cottage was very well equipped with everything you would need on holiday. We will definitely return.

we found that the two gates on either side of the garden were open so we shut them then let the dogs out . all was good for the next couple of days . we did see that the bin for the rubbish had been removed but the gates were then closed . on our last night we came in at about 4.30 pm let the dogs out and I then picked up the black bag to put out and then I found that there was both gates wide open and one of our dogs was missing . my self and me wife then started to shout out for our dog and could not see her anywhere . at the end of the houses to the right there was an alleyway to the main road so we both went down the alleyway to the front of the house which is on a main road . I went to the right and my wife went to the left and while my wife was looking she saw our dog at the edge of the road so she shouted for her to stay and she did so my wife was able to get her and bring our dog back . both of the neighbours knew that we had dogs as they had seen them so why they left the door open . my wife was in bits all night thinking what could of happened . we put our comments in their book at the property stating that we would never come back to stay at this property . if they canât guarantee that the gates are closed the they should have another gate put up at the end of the patio where there is a wall in place and then this could be locked and you could let your dogs out into this safe area before they go into the main garden. I do believe that all dog owners and parents with small children should be aware of this problem .
