Overall, the cottage is praised for its tranquillity and convenience, with most guests enjoying their stay despite some minor issues.
Several guests found the property clean and comfortable, but a notable number reported issues such as dog hair, cobwebs, and areas needing a deeper clean, particularly under beds and in the garden. Cleanliness appears inconsistent, with some stays being spotless and others less so.
The location is frequently praised for its proximity to the beach, RSPB reserve, and peaceful surroundings. Guests enjoy the quiet setting and easy access to local walks and amenities, making it a highlight of the property.
Most guests found the cottage cosy, with a comfortable bed and a tranquil atmosphere. However, some mentioned issues with the mattress, heating, and privacy due to a broken bathroom door, which affected overall comfort for a few visitors.
The kitchen is well-equipped and modern, but recurring issues with bathroom fixtures, garden maintenance, and missing or broken items (such as the bathroom tap, door handles, and garden furniture) were noted. Some guests found the facilities excellent, while others felt maintenance was lacking.
Some guests received welcome packs with wine and biscuits, which were much appreciated, but others found these were missing despite being advertised. Thoughtful touches are not guaranteed and can be inconsistent.

Photos on line need reviewing as out of date. Seems neglected and needs attention to various items. No freezer, a must for the location. Poor garden furniture not as shown on website. No welcome pack as stated. Everything only bare essentials provided. I definitely did not think value for money and would definitely not be returning.

The place has gone downhill drastically since we stayed here last year. The toilet \ bathroom door handle has been pulled off and replaced with a door stop so no privacy. The garden patio furniture has been removed and the grass is a foot tall. The mattress is badly in need of replacement, it's a major job to turnover.It seems the place has been allowed to go to rack and ruin. Very disappointed so much so we cancelled our booking for later in the summer and booked elsewhere.

We enjoyed the location it's a beautiful part of the world. The cottage is in need of maintenence. Using the toilet is one of those moments, a private affair if you will, however the bathroom door remains broken. The washing machine is located in a shed in the garden this has not been cleaned, the tumble dryer is broken and does not work. The bed mattress needs to be replaced, and there are numerous spider webs in the bathroom, in the corner of the lounge, the blinds have no way of opening, you have to use your fingers, although there is a integrated coffee machine, the instructions were unclear. The level of uncleaness such as under the bed gave the over all impression that the owner, has not enough interest in maintaining the property. This to reflects upon Cottages. Com.
