It hadn't been cleaned, with dust, dirt and cobwebs everywhere. All our clothes needed washing went we got home. There were no instructions about bin collection etc, and several light bulbs had blown. Ther was black mould on some walls, an overwhelming smell of damp, out of date food in the freezer and cupboards...including mouldy flour. The cutlery, glasses and kitchen utensils hadn't been properly cleaned and we left a day early as we couldn't stand it any longer. Very surprised and disappointed that it met Sykes criteria for letting out to the public. We certainly won't be returning here again.

Easy walk to both beach and Shops. Could do with a user manual on how to operate heating etc .. but we worked it out eventually..

There was a lot of cobwebs and the windows and outside area were very dirty. I cleaned the front room window as it was hardly letting light in and was sad to look through. We did not use the outdoor seating on the first floor as it was scruffy and unappealing. We did have one issue with a toaster but that was handled quickly and appreciated. It's a shame as it could be a beautiful cottage but needs refreshing and new beds and mattresses in the twin bedroom. The location is good
