Guests consistently mention the cottage’s cleanliness, comfort, and well-equipped kitchen. The welcome baskets and thoughtful touches are appreciated, though not always present.

Most guests found the cottage very clean and tidy, though a few mentioned musty smells and some areas (carpet, sofas) needing attention. Overall, cleanliness is a strong point with only minor exceptions.
The location is frequently described as excellent, close to the beach, harbour, and local amenities. The uphill walk back is noted but not seen as a major drawback.

Great little cottage in a great location 10 minutes walk to seafront, bars, cafes etc. small corner shop about 5 minutes walk with essentials.well equipped all you need for catering but missing a slice. Cottage was very clean. Washing machine a bonus.There was a lovely hamper waiting for us with butter bread bars broth shortcake biscuits and Welsh cakes plus the all important milk in the fridge. Well thought through. Dogs welcome but no significant green off lead places nearby. But easy to walk down to beach for a run. Small backyard but enough space to sit and have a coffee.We would definitely come back and will recommend to friends and family. Thumbs up to owner Kevin who was very helpful.
