    The dirty floors meant a lower review score for what is a lovely property in a really great central spot.

    The parking space was extremely small but luckily I had read the reviews and we took our small car. The hard floors throughout the downstairs and the bathroom upstairs were filthy. There was a bucket but no mop and so we had to make sure we had footwear on at all times.

    Well situated. Comfortable property with large rooms. Slept well.

    Had problems with the door locks on arrival, 1 sorted next day after contacting letting agents other outstanding. Information about size of parking space should be made available at time booking ,it is in the information pack in the house that it's for medium sized car, not much help at end long drive-did get my MPV/estate car in the space eventually with about 6inches gap to open boot

    Good situation, sensible easy to clean floor as had dogs and they loved the beach!

    Parking really is for a small car only but we knew before we set off and switched to our smaller runaround vehicle. There were a few items of crockery missing but these were soon brought to the property when we pointed it out. Some wet paint on newel post but again fedback to company.

    Nothing to complain about! Only very minor point was the parking space round the back is a bit small if you have a wide car. It was fine for us but you need to make sure you are tucked in.

    A fantastic location which was not a few minutes walk to the harbour. A really well presented cottage which made for a fantastic family holiday

    Good, clean, modern, but the bed was not conducive to a good night's sleep.

    The bed in the front master room was not comfortable at all and the pillows were flimsy. (Other rooms were fine.) I would recommend that guest who arrive by auto bring their own pillows and a mattress topper. The upstairs rooms would have benefitted from a fan as it got quite warm on the four nights we were there. With the window open for a breeze it was a bit loud. The curtains did nothing to block the light.

    Really a lovely, clean, and nicely decorated home with newish kitchen and bathroom. Parking was just outside the back door which was very good. The washing machine was a plus.

    I have a big volvo and the parking space was just too tight for me to get into but the main car park is a short walk away so that was fine.

    The property is furnished and decorated to a very high standard and is beautiful with some lovely touches. It has a really homely feel, we settled in straight away and felt like we were on holiday as soon as we walked in the door. We’ll definitely be returning.

    My husband managed to park our Volvo XC90 in the parking space provided but it was extremely tight! Apart from that Perfect 😀

    A well kept, clean, comfortable cottage. Felt at home straight away. Hand soap, dishwasher tablets and cleaning products provided. Very close to lovely restaurants, pubs and the harbour. We were visiting family so will definitely stay here again.

    Nothing about the property, the only con was we had an issue and could not get hold of the owners/caretakers. Even the emergency number that was left did not respond to us.

    It was beautifully decorated and the decor was lovely. The beds and sofas we’re so comfortable and the property had such a homely feel to it.

    We had a nice time but cleanliness put a dampener on it a little. Especially with a toddler and young child.

    It wasn’t clean. The floors were dirty and lots of areas were dusty. It needed a thorough clean and had obviously just had a surface clean. My children’s socks were brown on the soles from the dirt on the downstairs floors. I think it’s particularly important to make sure that floors are clean when dogs have been allowed. We were also greeted with dog mess at the back door. Lots of surfaces were dusty and the sofas were full of crumbs. Not good enough for the price we paid. In addition, the bathroom light cord was ridiculously short so my son and mother couldn’t reach it to turn it on! I also feel it’s cheeky to ask clients to strip beds at the end of the stay when the property wasn’t clean to start with.

    The property is in a good location for the harbour and Main Street. It’s nicely decorated and a good size for a weekend stay.
