DO NOT STAY HERE!On arrival, we were disappointed with this cottage. Lots of things about it have been neglected. Paving slabs outside the front door are covered in slime and very slippy, a real worry for the elderly. There is no welcome pack. We had to clean cutlery, pots and crockery before we used them. The kitchen cupboards were mouldy and damp so we did not use them and left all our items on the worktop. The whole property did smell damp and musty especially the downstairs bedroom and conservatory. We lived out of our suitcases.. There were cobwebs, dust and dead insects which we hoovered up. The linen and towels had been washed but again felt damp and cold. The shower curtain in the bathroom was black with mould so we had to clean it as best we could before use. The paintwork and decor is poor with masking tape round the hall window woodwork. I could go on and on ….Tried to contact the owner but no answer. The cottage is described as luxury but it is definitely not. Cottages.com should visit this property themselves.

Definitely not luxuryThis is a rather basic standard of accommodation.The position on the edge of Whiting Bay is excellent.New carpets and vinyl flooring have been installed. The key safe is old and rusty. It took us 15 minutes to open it.Decor throughout is badly in need of refreshing. Dated embossed wallpaper peeling from walls at seams.Skylight frame corroded with adjacent paintwork blistered. Masking tape that has been put over it is unsightly. Downstairs bedroom dark and damp.Shaver light does not appear to work in the bathroom.Potential guests with children should be made aware that there are two fully glazed internal doors on the ground floor. Assurance should be sought that these have safety glass installed. Even so, warning labels should have been attached to prevent accidentally walking into them.The window blind in the double bedroom has no cord and has to be rolled or unrolled by hand. A shorter person would be unable to open or close it without standing on a chair. The double bed creaks noisily with the slightest movement. Very restricted space for dining in.Wheelie bins full to overflowing when we arrived and for the duration of our stay. This is pretty basic accommodation suitable for someone who would be out for most of the day. It is luxurious by no stretch of the imagination.

Cottage good. Very clean with fantastic garden and lovely views of sea. Only downside was double bed. Very creaky and uncomfortable. Cottage had everything you needed though.
