Gavin
It had clean bedding, bed was very comfy, nice fresh towels, could benefit from a hand towel in the bathroom, shower was nice and hot. Thanks for the milk and t bags, nice touch. Would go back defo.. Now the few thing that I think need addressed, the fire starter pack is a non starter, we got 4 logs and 1 fire lighter, ?, no kindling, so this fire was never going to work, I have a log burner and believe me you cannot start a log burner with 4 logs and 1 fire lighter. Unless you got Rambo type skills, The number 1 seems to feature a lot in this cottage, only 1 T towel, it has a dishwasher but only 1 soap tablet, which was nicely displayed on the kitchen bench. We had to use the T towel a lot, as it was hard decision as to when you use your one tablet, you ask to put the washer on the night before we leave, donât think they would be clean with no tablet as we did use the 1 that was left . ? There is only 1 bulb in the ceiling light which has three bulb fittings. So its very dim of night. Also for anyone who is going, take a 4 plug extension, as there is only 1 three pin plug in the sitting room available to charge mob, laptops, I pads etc. Last thing, the new sink needs silicone round it, I washed the dishes, and the water seeped over the side and dripped into the cupboard underneath and soaked the plates etc. Apart from them few things we had a lovely time. Ps, need to adjust the directions for people, you drive into a brand new housing estate, we had to ring cos the directions don't mention the right hand turn down an ash track which is 50 yards on the right-hand side as soon as you enter the new estate.

You felt off grid, but you could walk into the town within 10 mins, and the same again to the Abbey and the coastal paths. The cottage is well equipped, garden is big enough for the dogs, but could just do with a mini makeover, to match the lovely interior of the cottage, Great starter kit for the log burner. Will definately be back.

Cosy and comfortable, it was a great base for exploring the wonderful coast line and moors. Location of the property was perfect for us, a short but pleasant walk to the abbey and town. Would definitely book again!
