Torkeld Holiday Cottage is highly praised for its welcoming atmosphere, spacious and secure garden ideal for dogs, and proximity to the beach.

While most reviews are positive, a few mention areas for improvement such as cleanliness and maintenance.
Most guests found the cottage clean and tidy, with a few exceptions noting dog odours and dust under furniture. The majority of reviews, however, do not raise cleanliness as an issue, suggesting a generally high standard.
The location is consistently praised for its proximity to the beach, local pub, and scenic walks, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and dog owners. The quiet village setting is also appreciated for its tranquillity.
Guests describe the cottage as cosy, comfortable, and warm, with a secure garden and welcoming touches. Some concerns were raised about bedding and seating comfort, but these are few compared to the overall positive feedback.
The cottage is well-equipped for most guests, though some mentioned a need for better cooking utensils and pans. The enclosed garden and the presence of Sky Sports are highlights, while a few maintenance issues were noted.
Many guests mention thoughtful gestures such as welcome packs with tea, coffee, and sometimes flowers. While these gifts are warmly received, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

Unfortunately there were air fresh plugs in sockets smell over powering. No cushions on chairs. Bed had nylon type sheets on . No soaps for washing up or hand washing , that is a throw back when it wasnât supplied and you knew to take your own . No bin provide to put in used bedding in .

We had issues with television and could not find any instructions but the owner came and sorted it immediately. Plenty of cupboard space in kitchen, but a bit spartan, no scissors or measuring jug etc. Weather was beautiful and we enjoyed our holiday very much.

It has everything we need as a base for exploring the surrounding area. Our recent visit was in early spring , the heating system made for a very cosy place to stay even when we visited in the early spring.
