What our customers say about their holidays

  The cottage was delightful but I think more attention to detail is required for the price of the property.

  The furniture is tired. The settee in the front room has stains on it and although comfortable to sit on I felt a little uncomfortable because of the way the cleanliness made me feel. The bed although comfortable squeaked every time you moved…this needs looking at. The fridge had been cleaned with bleach prior to our arrival so smelt of bleach…fridges shouldn’t be cleaned with bleach. For some reason we couldn’t get the fridge to work…it kept freezing the food. The garden was nice but could be lovely with a bit more attention to detail. And it would have been nice if the garden furniture had been cleaned prior to our arrival. The conservatory was lovely but the skylight needed cleaning. Lots of cobwebs and dead flies. The bathroom had very large cobwebs in it. Overall the place is nice, cosy and peaceful but as said it needs a bit more TLC to make it better. It’s in a lovely location and we would stay again for that reason.

  Another good stay at Captains Retreat.

  House was very clean and tidy, beds and seating very comfortable. Plenty of cutlery and plates etc. Instructions for kitchen appliances in drawers if required. Clothes drying racks on kitchen radiator plus an outside line attached to the shed. Small garden is now completely decked over and has garden chairs ( cushions in shed ) and table .Walk to river front is just a few minutes away, so is the bus stop if needed. High street shops are not far either. Beaches are around fifteen minutes drive. Children’s playground just around the corner opposite the river. Interesting to watch the nearby rowing club in the mornings and there is a small ferry boat linking this area with Wick on the opposite side of the river during season. Two allocated private parking bays directly outside the house in private road. Neighbours quiet and friendly.

  Our second visit to the house at this time of year.

  House is in a lovely location and overall we had an ok stay but I was extremely disappointed that the dishwasher was broken and there was no note to tell us, even though the owner and the cleaner were aware and still left a dishwasher tablet out like it was useable. House wasn’t very clean, kitchen especially and lots of cobwebs downstairs which we cleaned ourselves. Only half the spot light bulbs were working in the kitchen. Kettle is missing the filter so water pours out extremely quickly which was dangerous. Took a long time for water to drain away in shower, house needs a deep clean and maintenance issues need to be addressed. Also building work taking place at neighbouring property so woke up to early morning building work noises which is not ideal on holiday.

  Really lovely cottage which was very clean and looked like it had been recently tastefully decorated.

  Fantastic location close to all the lovely restaurants and bars and more widely all the attractions of Christchurch and surrounding area. The only negative comment I’d make is that the bedrooms are set up to sleep 6 however we had 5 of us, our 3 kids are all adult-sized teenagers now and we found it a squash downstairs. There is really only space for 4 people downstairs - 4 round the table and only space for 4 on the sofas- someone had to sit on a plastic garden chair which obviously isn’t very comfy and it was a real tight squeeze, they were sat in the access way through to the kitchen so no one could come and go. It’s difficult to gauge size from the photos on the website. It’s perfect for a group of 4 I’d say.

  The property has been recently refurbished.

  The walls have been painted. New carpets have been put in upstairs. The bathroom was clean and bright. The beds were very comfortable. The wifi was fast. The kitchen was well-equipped (and had lots of things that not all cottages have, e.g. cling film, foil, salt, pepper, plus plenty of cutlery and utensils). The property overlooks a public car park, so we did hear some noise in the car park on the weekend from people returning late at night to their cars. But this was a minor inconvenience given how well situated the property is for the high street in Christchurch and all of its shops and restaurants. We very much enjoyed our stay and would consider returning if we fancied being in the same part of the country again.
