Guests say
Gamekeepers Cottage is a beautiful and comfortable property in a great location, ideal for exploring local beaches and attractions. The kitchen is well-appointed, and the recent refurbishments add to the quiet charm of the cottage. However, some guests have noted issues with cleanliness and maintenance that could enhance the overall experience.
Guests have reported concerns with cleanliness, including full dustbins, a dirty utility room, and an untidy garden. One guest found a decomposed pigeon, indicating a need for better maintenance of the outdoor areas.
The cottage is praised for its beautiful position and great location, offering easy access to local attractions and beaches, making it a desirable spot for visitors.
The property is described as very comfortable and in a lovely quiet spot, although one review mentioned steep stairs which could affect comfort for some guests.
While the kitchen is well-appointed, issues with internet connectivity, a rusty microwave, and scaled-up kettle suggest that some of the facilities require attention and updating.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

The cottage is surrounded by gorgeous countryside in a very peaceful location, so if you like peace and quiet then this is the place for you. Unfortunately we had to cut our holiday short due to my father's ill health, so I'd like to say a massive thanks to Sykes and to the property owners for their help and support, it was greatly appreciated.

When we arrived there was a vase of dead daffodils on the dining room table . This was not very welcoming. The small freezer in the utility room and the utility room work top was dirty so I had to clean these. The microwave in the kitchen although clean was very rusty inside and therefore off putting so could really do with purchasing a new one bearing in mind microwaves are very cheap. I had to buy some descaler for the kettle this was very scaled up and again a little off putting. The location of the cottage is great and gives easy access to all the areas we wanted to visit.
