Holiday was good good weather, but the Bungalow was not very clean, don't know if it was the people before us or the cleaners.In the downstairs bedroom opposite the stairs on the left hand side there was a set of drawers this was my 13 year old grand daughters bedroom in the second drawer there was a pair of filthy lady's skimpy lacey knickers that were mucky, i had to remove them with a stick.There were also full doggy bags on the side but not in the bin. There were also stains on the duvets and covers looked like it was from dogs.We have stayed in many locations with Cottages.com and this is the first time we have not been happy with the accommodation,The owner rang us the moment we arrived almost before we had a chance to have a good look around, maybe it would be better to ring at the end of a holiday.A small point but it was also the first time there was no welcome pack ie milk welsh cakes.

We’ve just returned from a fantastic week staying at The Bungalow. Relaxation set in with the first glimpse of sea at the top of the driveway.The accommodation suited us completely, with plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, and living space, and it felt really homely. The kitchen was probably the best kitted out of any cottage we’ve stayed at.Being lucky with the weather, we spent a lot of time sitting under the veranda or in the garden, soaking in the view. And time on the stony beach rock-pooling and doing some swimming. As well as this, there were plenty of local walks, and boat trips to do, as well as exploring further afield. The local garden centre did fantastic food and is well worth a visit too!We really hope to come back again.
