Guests say
Guests have enjoyed the tranquil setting and stunning sea views of Otterburn 1, with wildlife sightings adding to the experience. The property provides a comfortable stay, though some guests noted issues with maintenance and cleanliness. The ongoing construction nearby has been a point of contention, but it hasn't significantly detracted from the peaceful atmosphere.
The property was generally found to be clean and tidy, but there were isolated reports of dirty kitchenware and items found under furniture, suggesting room for improvement in thoroughness.
The remote location with its single-track access is highly praised for its brilliant views and proximity to wildlife, although access to the beach has been compromised by nearby construction.
The property is considered comfortable, with a particularly cosy bed and a conservatory that guests enjoyed. However, some guests mentioned issues with hot water and a non-functional radiator.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and satisfactory appliances. However, the property's maintenance needs updating, and guests reported insufficient supplies and outdated information.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Location was brilliant and we enjoyed the solitude and the views across the coast.We felt that a small table in the conservatory / utillity would be great as we wanted to spend the time in there during the day because of the viewWe would suggest updating the information and clarifying particularly the info re the route to the beach as we tried but couldn't follow instructions given, but we were not sure if the building work cut across the route now. I noted the previous comments about the building work prior to arrival but this didn't affect our stay (in fact the activity was a source of entertainment) and we believe once built will not block the view (I looked at the plans as reference was in the local magazine) and will have a green roof so will blend in.We were there for 7 days and were disappointed that we had to ask for dishwasher tablets (recieved 4) and only had 1 black bag for general rubbish so had to buy some for our stay - if these items were freely available I am sure people would only use what was necessary. Overall our stay was peaceful and relaxing which is what we wanted.
