The cottage was very clean and tidy. We found the sofa uncomfortable and the cupboards lacking in equipment.

It is well equipped and has a lovely outside area for a dog, however it is not enclosed as described so your pet could wonder off if inclined. I found the sofa a little uncomfortable as it's deep and the back cushions weren't very firm, but there was a few lose cushions that could be used for back support. The downstairs bedroom and toilet/ shower room was great for my elderly mother and the loft room with a double bed was spacious and comfortable. Some limited head room over the sink and bath but descent shower in the downstairs bathroom. The cleaners had missed a few cobwebs but overall the cottage was clean and tidy. Freshwater is a small town but it has a petrol station, large Tesco and a lovely pub serving food as well as a chip shop and a couple of other food outlets. You do need to drive to get to attractions but it is very handy for the ferry crossing in Yarmouth which is a few mins drive away. The owner was very friendly and welcoming, I would stay here again!.

It's well equipped and clean. The only reason I have scored down a little was purely the heat. We affectionately referred to the cottage as the sweatbox for our whole stay. Even on rainy days the attic bedroom was exceptionally warm and caused disturbed sleep throughput. Our neighbours in the cottage next door were experiencing the same. A few well placed fans or air con units would make a world of difference
