What our customers say about their holidays

  First Impressions of the cottage where quite positive, it is an old stone Building which remains cool even on a warm day.

  The heating to the property is controlled by a timer which in turn is controlled by the owner, hence at night on our stay in mid September it got fairly cold. There was also a fume smell emitting from the oil boiler in the en-suite double bedroom, especially if the door to the en-suite bathroom left closed. Hence due to there only being two of us we opted to sleep in another of the 3 bedrooms, the lack of heating control at night was a slight downside to our stay though. Privacy was another problem at the cottage as it is part of a multi unit letting set up, with a number of permanent residents also. This meant the need to the keep curtains drawn, or residents can see straight into the holiday let, access to property was via two Drives each very pot holed even for a 4x4 to use. There was also a distinct lack of where to go leaflets for things to see and do in the area, on leaving we left our leaflets there for new guests to use when they arrive. Seating in kitchen looked period but was very uncomfortable and all the chairs rickety, with very loose wooden Joints with some previous attempted screw repairs quite dangerous really. These need repairing properly to safe guard future occupants safety when using the focal point kitchen, as this is a premium property it really needs all the little details re- addressing especially the boiler when the rental season finally quietens down. The property could be brought right back up to scratch, over the course of a couple of days re-investment and time. Overall we enjoyed our time there but it could have been so much better.

  Well where do I begin!

  What a gem of a place! A fabulous house in beautiful surroundings. It was just the attention to detail that made it so welcoming. On entering the house the first thing I noticed was the beautiful aroma, then as I entered each room, I was left dumb founded. All the rooms look even better than the lovely photos on line already. Each room beautifully decorated and with gorgeous bed linen. The wee touches just made the house so cozy, from the hurricane lamps with the faux candles to the beautiful scene at night when the solar lights came on.There is everything here that you may need to have a lovely holiday. Another lovely touch by the owners was a fabulous hamper which was completely unexpected.They even contacted us in advance to give us their details, in case we got lost .I cannot commend this place enough, we all had a fabulous time in this beautiful home making lovely family memories.

  We loved this holiday as the apartment was so comfortable and well equipped.

  The views are spectacular and we were lucky enough to have hot sunny weather. It was great we could park the car in the space provided and walk everywhere we wanted. The Chinese round the corner, The New Sunrise was very tasty. The Steamboat pub a few doors along a nice friendly pub. Delicious food served a short walk at The Salt Cellar. The deli just up the road sold great sandwiches and pies. Two well stocked Co-ops within walking distance. We had a great walk to the local lighthouse, several walks over the bridge to the East Beach, different every time depending where the tide was, or the options of walking through the dunes or over the other side along the estuary. Would recommend this place to anyone.

  We had a lovely break .

  We stayed at Wallace cottage instead of Stewart but that was a plus as the views were beautiful . Weather appalling and the roads were a challenge due to the adverse weather but that did not detract from our enjoyment. I feel for the owners as their driveway to their cottages has been badly affected by the rain washing parts away but again care is needed. The cottage itself was very comfortable and clean . The adverse weather conditions concerned us with 3 wet dogs. spoiling the carpets but we had taken their beds so all ok ( little room in car for x3 Hoomans belonging ,,,,). Thank you for a very pleasant stay and hopefully will come back and the weather will be kinder..

The owners have thought of everything. we loved every minute and will definitely be back. Didn't want to leave. Definitely the best property we've ever stayed in.
