The location is highly praised for being close to various attractions, the coast, and suitable for walking and cycling. Its proximity to the motorway and local amenities is also appreciated, contributing to a high score.
Most guests found the cottage comfortable and cosy, with plenty of hot water and a relaxing garden. However, one review cites uncomfortable seating, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
Reviews indicate that the cottage is well-equipped and maintained, with a special mention of a welcome basket. The mention of unclear key collection instructions and slow response times indicates some areas for improvement.
