While some minor issues with facilities and comfort are noted, the overall experience is positive, with many guests planning return visits.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews noting it as 'spotless'. However, a few guests mentioned minor issues such as sticky cutlery and cups, which slightly detract from the perfect score.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach and the peacefulness of the village. The local shop and ice cream availability are mentioned positively, although the limited dining options in the village are noted.
Comfort receives a good score with guests finding the beds fine and the cottage cosy. Some guests, however, found the sofa and bed lacking support and the stairs challenging, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
Facilities are generally well-received with a well-equipped kitchen and good internet access. Criticisms include an outdated TV, temperamental fridge, and parking difficulties for larger vehicles. The lack of a smart TV and issues with the garden's privacy and security for small dogs are also mentioned.
Thoughtfulness is evident through mentions of a welcome pack and complimentary items, which guests appreciated. It should be noted that such gifts, while a delightful touch, are not guaranteed for every stay.

The cottage is fully equipped with everything we needed. As four adults sharing the only thing I would suggest is a separate toilet. Thank you would visit again.
