A very comfortable cottage which is very well appointed with all one would need on holiday. Incredible views over the sea from either the sun room or decking and front facing rooms. Nice touch with flowers and gift in the kitchen on arrival. Acid test for me with all properties is, "Would I stay there again?" The answer is most definitely YES! Thank you

First off, the view is SPECTACULARWe had stayed here before so were not surprised at the slightly damp smell and the quirky plumbing. However I think the cleaning has changed company as although on the surface everything is great some bits could certainly do with attention. The bin is filthy, the freezer is so iced up there is only one drawer that can be opened and the grill pan was found in a cupboard unwashed. To be fair to the previous tenants there was no washing up liquid. Dont put suitcases on the top of the wardrobe, it is filthy!There is ample parking even for a large vehicle like ours and the steps are not too bad after a couple of goes. The views are stunning.Welcome pack of scones, cream, jam and milk was very nice but would have preferred some toilet roll. None whatsoever, not even an empty roll. And no local shop.Not good with the amount charged.

The house is nice and a good place to stay for proximity to the beach and a family. It is a bit rough around the edges, but it works for us and we have had many happy years renting it in the summer. Only thing is that the plumbing into the utility room is not standard and causes a bad smell.
