The property felt unloved. The living room is very dark and not somewhere you would want to spend a lot of time. The kitchen was fine. The bathroom was dirty and you would need to shower with the door open as it is very small- it needs updating. The bedroom was a good size with a large bed but again outdated. Pets are welcome but it is a concrete courtyard, not a garden and again needs a loving touch.

The cottage its self is well equipped. Lovely log burner. Great kitchen well equipped and feels new. Other areas of the cottage could do with an update. The property needs to be cleaner tho. Floors when walking around left dirt on our feet and socks even after showering. The bed was very large but mattress needs an update. The surrounding area has lovely pubs and beaches. The owners were great. The review is being left to hopefully highlight things and make them aware it could be a little gem. Many thanks.
