I loved our stay in Argonaut cottage. It was well equipped , had a secure garden for the dogs and an easy walk to the beach. I can’t comment on local amenities as we’d brought all we needed. I would recommend it

This property is located in a beautiful area. Rural single track road. Right by the coastline. It's detached offering the children freedom to play without disturbing the neighbours. A nice garden at the rear for the dogs and kids alike. The property maintains the heat well and is warm. Unfortunately upon entering the door the smell 🤢 It's a mix of dog, musk and dust. It's somewhat masked near the plug in air fresheners. It really needs some vinyl or laminate in the living room in particular. I believe the carpet could be the issue it's very stained.There is alot of cobwebs and the skirting boards are full of dog hair and dust. I have two dogs and are use to the smell of dog but this was next level. Unfortunately allergies kicked in here. 🤧 The living room carpet has stains, the sofas have stains, the kitchen table has stains, all the walls are marked and needs painting etc etc. I love the quirky buckets for lights. A quick dust would really make them pop. There is alot of beautiful features. The art work on the walls. Unfortunately looks like a dead fly stuck to the one in the kitchen.This place could be heaven ! It wants some repairs, paint, leather sofas, vinyl and a deep clean. Rip the carpet up and dust and i would help! It's got huge potential!We had a dirty bedding issue and no bedding on the car bed. The cleaner was lovely who sorted these two issues for us. Unfortunately our washing got stuck in the washing and still is in there. Luckily I think it's just pants and maybe socks.

We had a great few days stay at Argonaut Beach House, It's pretty well equipped, comfortable beds and was nice and warm considering the weather outside. Easy access to the beach. Some of the previous reviews comment on its cleanliness, its a dog friendly cottage right next to the beach so although I agree it could do with a deep clean we found it more than acceptable and we would be happy to return. It has a fully enclosed garden, loved the seaside theme throughout
