It exceeded our expectations. The cottage had everything we needed for our holiday. We felt so at home there, that we didn't want to leave. We will definitely be returning.

The cottage is in a beautiful location. Just a few things let it down. The cleanliness was below average in comparison to other rentals we have stayed in. The facilities were disappointing in that the WiFi did not work for the latter part of the week and the spa bath didn't work. Several lights didn't work and the remote controls for the various TV's also didn't work. The cooker hood fan also didn't work. Many of the maintenance issues had been reported by previous tennants but nothing had been done about them. There was a lot of different kitchen pots/pans etc but a lot were dirty and old which put us off using them. We felt like just a small amount of tlc could really make a difference in this house. The bathroom and kitchen both need to be re-sealed. And a general de-clutter in the whole house as some areas were quite dusty and musty. There was a jigsaw which had missing pieces which was also disappointing and the garden area was cluttered and overgrown. The lounge/dining area was a lovely space and the settee was really comfortable. Later on in the week we discovered some equipment for the beach (body board, skimming board etc) which i think should be advertised as being available, perhaps in a welcome pack and the ability to hang some clothes outside but under cover was also really useful. The shower was a good, powerful shower. There are many good things about this property and the location and we feel it has the potential for so much more. Thank you.
