We're a couple with a dog who stayed for three nights at this cottage. The host was friendly and sent instructions ahead of arrival, though they weren't always clear, and the faded handwritten notes dotted around the property were easy to miss. A proper welcome guide would be a worthwhile addition.
The location is the real highlight - peaceful, private, and beautifully scenic, with a short drive to the beach. The cottage itself has a charming, quirky character and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and we slept brilliantly each night.
However, there were a few issues worth noting. Storage was limited, with cupboards full of the owner's belongings leaving little room for guests. The fridge never reached a proper cold temperature, which was a concern. The cottage had a significant number of ladybirds on every window, our belongings, and ourselves, as well as spiders and other insects. Dust was visible on many surfaces, and the bathroom felt persistently cold, damp, and dingy. The shower towels were also too small.
The coin meter - we feel this cost should be factored into the rental price rather than left as an additional expense for guests.
Overall, a great location with real potential. With a thorough deep clean and a few practical updates, this could be a fantastic place to stay.
