The cottage is generally found to be cosy and comfortable, with a particularly comfortable bed mentioned. However, there are some remarks about minimal clothes storage and a soft bed that was not to everyone's liking.
Facilities are well-regarded, especially the kitchen and balcony. However, points are deducted for reported issues with underfloor heating, damp, and the need for better instructions on using the amenities.
The provision of a cream tea on arrival is mentioned, indicating a thoughtful touch. However, as such gestures are not guaranteed for all stays, they are considered a delightful bonus rather than an expectation.

Great cottage with spectacular views over the bay. we had a very comfortable stay. Short walk to the harbour which has lovely pubs and restaurants. Taco Tuesday at Cantina is a must!

Well, what a delightful cottage overlooking the cliff face out to sea. Fantastic sunsets and perfect balcony for a cosy week away. Loved watching the boats coming in and out and listening to the sea on your doorstep.
