The cottage is consistently described as very clean, with one review specifically highlighting the 'best' cleanliness they've ever seen. Only one review did not mention cleanliness, hence the score is not perfect.
The location is universally praised for its stunning views and proximity to local amenities, making it a perfect spot for guests. Every review that mentions location gives it a high regard.
Guests find the property comfortable and cosy, especially noting the comfortable bed and the cosiness for winter stays. No negative comments about comfort, but not all reviews mention it.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the property described as well-equipped. However, there are some maintenance issues noted, such as a problematic toilet handle, fridge door, and a smoke alarm battery issue.
Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches like the welcome tray, dog towels, and sweeties. While these gestures are warmly received, it is important to note that such gifts are kindly provided and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

Mrs Blyth
A fantastic house with loads of little extras that just made me smile - the dog towels, the sweeties and all the lovely throws, which we certainly needed on the breezy weekend when we stayed in April.

The cottage was well positioned to enjoy the harbour and local shops, pubs, restaurants and beaches. On arrival the cottage was very welcoming with beautiful flowers and delicious scones and clotted cream. It had everything needed for a lovely break and the support from the person who looks after the cottage was amazing. I would happily recommend this cottage to family and friends.
