The photo of the cottage is misleading, and doesn't tell the whole story. This property is on a dilapidated holiday camp, and the road in is the road to hell. There are no facilities whatsoever, and it was a mistake to have booked it. My wife has limited walking ability, which didn't help. It is what it is, and a score of 2 out of ten would be flattering.

Arrived to dishes on drying rack (not a big deal) and damp towels including the best large bath sheets on the bathroom floor, and rubbish still in the kitchen bin—very off-putting. Folded towels in chest also felt slightly damp and parts of the bungalow have a damp/musty smell. I did keep humidifiers running constantly and windows open when possible to alleviate this, but the smell persists. Also, I turned on the water heater and waited several minutes, and the water from the kitchen sink didn't get hot.

Once we had arrived on site we had trouble locating the property. It is not signed as Pebble Cottage. The cottage is not very warm and a little on the damp side.
