No information on local amenities eg doctors, vet or info on locality in general. We are regular self caterers, several times a year, and have never experienced this before. Cleanliness left a lot to be desired. Pillows were very thin, flat and stained and urgently need replacing. This was apparently reported in June 2022! The bedding (duvets) were old, dirty, ripped and in need of urgent replacement - I took photos of bedding on my single bed. Friend slept in the double bedroom and there was a tacky stain on mattress and sloping mattress was uncomfortable - again mentioned in May 2021 review. Only knew about drier being in shed from a previous on line review and shed floor was dirty. No laundry basket. No hairdryer provided. Fortunately we had brought our own. A hairdryer is a must have item! Red stains on chairs in kitchen (possibly blood)? Toilet brush was disgusting (photo taken). Back gate on wrong way around - bolt and catch on the outside which was very strange. Gate only opened part way. Lounge was comfortable - best part of bungalow! Iâm surprised that a company such as Sykes would be associated with such low standards, particularly bearing in mind previous reviews. Are no independent inspections ever carried out by Sykes? Overall, we were extremely disappointed.

The property was clean, warm and comfortable ,plus located in a peaceful location with a beach and pub at the end of the road! Only issue, we didnât notice a welcome pack, so we had to undertake our own research to find activities, places to visit etc nearby. Other than that I would highly recommend a stay at Braemer cottage!!

Just a few suggestions for improvements, the decking needs cleaning as very slippy when wet. The electrics need sorting as shorted twice when various items were on together. The dryer needs upgrading and putting on a clean floor or laundry basket providing as if clothes fall on the shed floor it's dirty. Netflix wouldnt work as someone had been left signed in. Apart from those, it's warm, comfortable and very well placed, we enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend.
