Guests say
Harbour Cottage is praised for its stunning location by the beach, offering great views and tranquillity. Guests appreciate the well-equipped space and the proximity to local treats. While the cottage's charm is acknowledged, there are repeated mentions of the need for a deep clean, updates to decor, and repairs, particularly in the bathrooms.
Several reviews mention the need for a deep clean, with comments on a doggy smell, hair on furnishings, and cobwebs. These issues suggest that cleanliness could be significantly improved.
The location is consistently lauded for its beauty, proximity to the beach, and peaceful environment, making it a highlight for guests.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen and cosy sunroom. However, some mention that the mattresses are hard and the furnishings tired, indicating room for improvement in comfort.
The cottage is described as well-equipped, but several reviews point out issues with maintenance, such as a water leak, rotting bathroom floor, and worn furnishings. These concerns suggest that the facilities are adequate but require attention.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owner, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

A lovely cottage right by the beach with great views. The big glass windows in the upstairs living room were fantastic to watch the tide come in and spot birds! Really well equipped and clean, felt very at home there for the week. We made use of the Pizza van on Tuesday nights and the Fish and Chips on Friday, a treat for us as we live rurally usually. Some of the furnishings were a bit tired but nothing that affected our stay which was just relaxing and peaceful.The only issue really was a long-term water leak which had effected a small patch on the bathroom floor. We had notified the custodian about so hopefully this gets fixed asap.

The location and the harbour village were lovely, however, the cottage is in serious need of a deep clean and some repairs and maintenance are required, namely the downstairs bathroom toilet flush connection is leaking and has rotted the floor. The kitchen cabinets and doors are in need of repair/ replacement. Also, there was a very doggy smell about the place and one of the downstairs bedrooms headboard was covered in hair.
