Guests say
Sapphire Cottage receives glowing feedback for its immaculate cleanliness, excellent location just minutes from the beach, and homely, well-equipped interiors. Guests consistently praise the comfortable beds, thoughtful touches, and the welcoming atmosphere, making it ideal for families and dog owners alike. The owner is noted for being helpful and attentive. While a few minor maintenance points are mentioned, these do not detract from the overwhelmingly positive experience. The cottage is highly recommended for a relaxing seaside break.
Cleanliness is repeatedly highlighted, with many guests describing the cottage as 'spotlessly clean', 'immaculate', and the cleanest holiday home they've stayed in. Only one review mentions a minor issue with a previous guest's pet in the garden, but this is an isolated comment.
The location is universally praised, with guests loving the short walk (2-5 minutes) to the beach, proximity to local shops, pubs, and attractions. The setting is described as perfect for seaside breaks and dog walks.
Guests frequently mention comfortable beds, a cosy atmosphere, and restful sleep. A small number of reviews note steep stairs and one guest found the beds less comfortable, but the vast majority found the cottage very comfortable.
The cottage is described as exceptionally well-equipped, with everything needed for families, including kitchenware, baby and toddler items, and a log burner. A few minor suggestions for improvement are mentioned (e.g., lounge furniture, coat hooks, and maintenance of some items), but these are rare.
Guests consistently appreciate the welcome baskets, Christmas decorations, and dog treats, noting these thoughtful extras enhance their stay. Please note, while many guests received gifts, these are not guaranteed for all bookings.

We had a lovely stay at Sapphire Cottage. Clean and well equipped in a great location. Happy to recommend.

We thought everything in the cottage was fine. Having the bathroom downstairs was unusual, but we soon adapted. Two comments I've sent to the owners: a previous tenant with a dog hadn't cleaned up its mess outside so it was rather unpleasant in the garden when we had lunch one day. The information about recycling wasn't up to date (in fact rubbish collection was Friday not Thursday as stated in the hand book. These are small points and in no way detracted from the holiday.

Lovely cottage and without a doubt the cleanest holiday home I have ever stayed in.90 seconds from the beach, what’s not to like.Off road parking good (albeit tight) because it’s quite a busy road.The shower is fab and would be better without the bath.The clothes aired could do with updating its was way to small for a houseful.The light switch in the dining area is faulty.The furniture in the lounge definitely needs an upgrade The sink in the bathroom needs a drainage gridThe front door could use an upgradeFor me the bed(s) where uncomfortable and the metal frame was squeaky.
