Although inside is clean and tidy. All you need if you don't want a high speck holiday.and just love peaceful walks with a garden view to die for.i would recommend. Also firm mattress on the single bed was a bit too much for me but other may enjoy. Overall I had a great time and always love to go back.

the front door was locked but when we tried the front door the lever lock key did not work. We called sykes and they managed to break down the door and get it after about 3 to 4 hours wait. The door is never locked a former holiday maker was next door. it appears the door was locked from the inside with a bolt lock, as the previous week the apparent must have been let with the front sea facing one, and the front door bolted from inside. The front door accesses a hall with a door with yale lock to our apartment plus upstairs apartment and a door which is locked (by a bolt lock I assume from the front apartment). So please can the landlord fix the front lever lock, and remove the bolt lock for future holidaymakers. there was also a shortage of cutlery and crockery we assume because it had been moving to the the front apartment when it was shared before us. It all minor details and can easily be corrected, by a new £10 lever lock and the cleaners checking the cutley after shared lettings but a bit up setting arriving at 10 pm and getting in at 2 pm.

The inside smells damp and musty, and, in fact, the whole cottage, inside and out, is in need of serious renovation, including the pathway which is a danger to anyone not steady on their feet.
