Guests say
Witsend is a spacious cottage praised for its proximity to the beach and suitability for families, including pets. Guests appreciate the large kitchen, comfortable beds, and the enclosed garden. While the location is consistently lauded, some guests have noted issues with cleanliness and maintenance that could be improved.
Several reviews mention cleanliness concerns, such as dusty blinds, dirty windows, and insufficient vacuuming. One review notes a thorough deep clean is needed, indicating room for significant improvement.
The location is highly praised for its closeness to the beach and the area's beauty, making it a consistent highlight in the reviews.
Guests find the beds very comfortable and appreciate the spaciousness of the property, with multiple sitting rooms and a large dining area. However, the mention of insufficient hot water for showers suggests some comfort issues.
The property is well-equipped with kitchen appliances and offers ample fridge and freezer space. However, maintenance issues like loose metal strips and a non-functional vacuum cleaner over several years detract from the score.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so this category cannot be scored.

This was our 4th stay at Witsend, as we feel the problems were outweighed by the perfect location. Our extended family group had a wonderful holiday but we would appreciate a higher standard of cleanliness and attention paid to the niggling faults within the house.

Lovely spacious house, we had a wonderful stay. The beach is very close and had good waves for body boarding. More attentive cleaning would have made the house even better.
