Mrs Buck
Two ceiling lights and one lamp didn’t have bulbs. The upstairs toilet was broken and although reported in the first night it was not repaired during our stay. Two of four cups were chipped. Towel rail not fitted correctly Some rot in bathroom near shower. The location makes up for a lot, overall it was comfortable.

Stayed for 2 weeks in mid September, beautiful area to stay, lovely beaches and walks, the cottage was in a great location and we really enjoyed our, just make sure you close the front gate or the sheep wander in and leave their calling cards. Would highly recommend .

The cottage is in a great location, but poor cleanliness and maintenance really let it down. We arrived to dog hair covering all the carpets both upstairs and down, a full bin, dirty kitchen surfaces, bed not made, black mould around the bath, light bulb missing, a broken towel holder and an overgrown garden with large weeds through the patio (not like the photo at all!) The kitchen chairs were also in a poor state and one collapsed when one of our party sat down. A real shame…
