Overall a good cottage but a few things let it down that could easily be rectified & make it worth the money we spent.Number 1 which realy needs sorting is the beds, none have mattress protectors & just a loose sheet so if u move thet come loose & slide off so u end up on bare matress, not what I would expect to be clean from previous & future use?Its a 8 person cottage so lovely & roomy, we were a family of adults. Annoyingly we couldn't all sit at table to eat as only 7 chairs! Most chairs have heavy wear on them & 3 have holes.The table base has been glued together & chip on glass of table which worried me greatly.No simple instructions on how to use cooker, hob, dishwasher, tv unless you got manuals out?!WiFi very poor the log in was different to what was on detail but password matched.In the main bathroom downlights were hanging out of ceiling & no bulbs.The shower held onto rail by cable ties prevented you to move it to correct height & if u had it on full it wobbled side to side! In en-suite bathroom if you used the shower you had to place towels around the tray as the water came over side from the short shower curtain.The 2 chairs on balcony were both broken on sides & threadbare.The games room only one machine worked, we turned on the fruit machine & it made a alarm sound & cut the other game out! Many tiles on the steps in need concreting in place they all move when walking up.Cracks through kitchen tiles where the metal chairs have obviously banged on previous use, just some foot protectors on the feet of chairs would help this? The welcome pack was not realy informative realy could do with what's near by to help visitors? We added a couple bits in that we did from Google searches.Great decor fininishing touches with the clocks but None had battery's in, would have been nice to have 1 clock that worked?!Reaky need a little radio in the kitchen as tv cant be heard up there unless on super high volume. All the curtains in bedroom are dress style so cant be closed properly so be prepared for a bright early start in summer!Not the cottages fault at all but we picked area as it said there was always lots on including life boat week events, turns out that was stopped a couple years ago so not realy anything to do close by unless driving.

nice property. Obviously a well used property for Stag/Hen doos. In need of a bit of an upgrade but still ideal for our needs. Property was spotless on arrival. Could do with a little more garden furniture for bigger groups. Cant really fault it.

Straight forward check in, easy to follow location instructions. Very spacious, great large social spaces in kitchen and lounge. Clean and tidy, nice fresh bedding and well equipped kitchen. Easy walkable acces to Portpatrick and lovely outlooks. Its a shame the house looks tired and in need of a refurbishment. Stains on carpets, old shower, curtains, damaged chairs, mising spotlights and decor dated. It just needs some TLC. Outdoor space needs some more seats to match the size of the house, and the hot tub needs a service as on go slow. But we had a great time.
