The cottage received mixed feedback on cleanliness. One guest mentioned poor cleanliness, suggesting room for improvement, but no other reviews provided specific comments on this aspect.
The location is generally well-regarded for its beautiful views and closeness to local amenities. However, the steep approach and challenging walks are noted, which may affect guests with mobility concerns.
Guests find the cottage to be comfortable, cozy, and nicely sized. There are some concerns about steep internal stairs and the need for caution when moving around, especially with young children.
While the cottage is described as well-equipped, there are no specific mentions of the facilities and maintenance, apart from the steep stairs and balcony access. Therefore, a score cannot be accurately provided.
There are no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness. As such, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Mr Hartley
A delightful, old cottage, and ticked all the boxes apart from the location. The description should mention the very steep approach and parking, although free, would not be suitable for a large car. Although the beach and shops are close by, it’s a challenging walk back up to the cottage.

A beautiful location and the area is gorgeous! So much to do surrounding the property. Having its own parking space is also really handy. This cottage is not suitable for those with young children or any mobility struggles. The stairs inside are steep and very slippy in a sock or bare feet meaning footwear needs to be worn at all times. Carrying our baby up and down the stairs was quite hairy! We couldn’t enjoy the balcony pictured as it is also very steep up at the back of the garden. Well equipped and a nice sized space but cleanliness was poor but hopefully will be addressed for future stays!
