  Chy an dowr is a wonderful holiday cottage, set in a fantastic position in rock for all amenities!

  Dog friendly which is a huge bonus as many of the beaches near are all year round. As a family with young children the bungalow's layout was great, lots of separate bathrooms, open dining and living space which we found extremely practical and it was so warm!! The garden was a delight, lots of love and attention shown to it and the views of the fields was lovely to wake up to in the mornings. A few really minor points which I think may help this brilliant cottage would be; Installing a side gate as there is completely open side access to the right. For a family&dog friendly cottage we think it would be very handy and safer. The garden is open to the field behind, there is no fence, so any dog/person could come in if walking behind the property - the stream is also open and runs into neighbouring properties which are perfect doorway for four legged friends if they smell a BBQ next door! The listing states booking in at 4 on arrival and leaving at 9/9:30 when finishing your stay. Essentially you lose nearly 2 days in which you paid for. We understand during COVID it was absolutely essential for cleaning but I don't think it is now and it does seem a shame. Overall it was a truly wonderful property and I can't recommend it enough to people who was a clean and well maintained base for their holiday :)

  Overall a nice cottage that would get 4 stars if it were not for the storage heating system.

  We arrived to a freezing cold cottage with storage heaters that had no heat at all apart from the one in the main sitting room, which was struggling to cope. It was telling that there were two electric heaters, a quick phone call for help to the office and the maintenance guy arrived to advise us on how to use them and deliver another heater. If you don’t want to boil at 2 in the morning make sure you adjust them before you go to bed. The rooms were either cold or too hot for the whole stay which made it a less relaxing than it might have been otherwise because the sitting room is nicely furnished. The kitchen was also cold as there is no heating close enough to make an impact on a cold Feb morning. The beds were comfortable and the upstairs bathroom was nice, but the downstairs shower room was freezing again so only used it when really needed. Only odd things were the square dinner plates that were too big for the dishwasher and the washing up bowl was too big for the sink so a bit of a faff to wash up. Otherwise the kitchen seemed well kitted out. The outside space looked nice but we didn’t use it being February.

  The worst holiday I have ever experienced.

  EVER. A filthy disgustingly dirty home. It required 3 cleans to get all the dog hair out the sofas and carpets and dust I could write in. All the rugs and sofa covers in the house need a good wash. Oily cupboards full of owners food and nowhere to put our food. Owners belongings jammed in cupboards. Filthy utility room not been cleaned forever. Had to clear a weeks worth of dog faeces from garden on arrival. No heating or hot water on last day. I spent the holiday arguing with the agent to get relocated or refunded. The agents were not very accommodating at all and I had to fight for my rights most of the holiday. A very stressful and awful time. I won’t be returning and I warn others who stay here or use John Bray agents as their managing agents or for their bookings. It all could have been so quickly and easly resolved but unfortunately the staff are not trained to handle things when they mess up.

  A well equipped and spacious house in a great location walking distance to the beach, shops and pub.

  And central location for sightseeing further afield. Comfortable beds and friendly atmosphere. As dogs are restricted to the ground floor (not mentioned in the property details) it would be nice to have a tv in the conservatory. Side gate is too low to be safe for a dog friendly property as easily jumped over. Looked clean overall, but had sweet wrappers in the log basket, and when I wiped the mantle piece in the front bedroom it was black. Toilet did not look as though it had been cleaned on arrival and the floor in there was dirty. I’m not sure when the dog beds ( nice to be supplied although we used are own) were last cleaned. The cutlery drawers in the free standing unit were extremely stiff. Overall a great holiday property. Maybe if more cleaning materials were supplied the cleanliness would be higher. We would return but only if dogs were allowed upstairs
