While parking and accessibility for those with mobility issues were noted concerns, the overall experience was positive, with special appreciation for the Christmas decorations provided during a festive stay.
Most guests found the cottage welcoming and well-furnished. However, there were isolated complaints about a foul-smelling fridge and washing machine upon arrival, suggesting occasional lapses in cleanliness that were promptly addressed.
The cottage's location is highly praised for its proximity to the village, beaches, and countryside. Despite some noise from the road and initial difficulty finding the property, guests loved the area and found it ideal for walking holidays and exploring North Devon.
Guests reported extremely comfortable beds and a cosy atmosphere, contributing to a relaxing stay. Some concerns were raised about the number of chairs and living room space for larger groups, but overall, the comfort level was high.
The cottage is equipped with necessary appliances and has been appreciated for its sun deck and multiple bathrooms. However, guests mentioned dated kitchen facilities, a lack of a DVD player, and noise from adjoining properties, indicating room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
The owners' thoughtfulness was evident in the provision of Christmas decorations for a festive stay, which was highly appreciated by guests. While such gestures add to the experience, it is politely noted that such gifts are not guaranteed.
