    “Firstly, let me say that this is a nice quirkily furnished cottage adequately sized for two people.”

    Its location is ideally placed for the pebble and sand beach and other places. It is surrounded by decent pubs and takeaways and there are supermarkets and larger outlets remarkably close by. The cottage itself has a large settee which is slightly sagging in places and an armchair along with a dining table and two chairs in the living room. The large TV is its best feature with access to several apps. The kitchen is well equipped but the timer on the oven is broken, and the microwave is ...

    Its location is ideally placed for the pebble and sand beach and other places. It is surrounded by decent pubs and takeaways and there are supermarkets and larger outlets remarkably close by. The cottage itself has a large settee which is slightly sagging in places and an armchair along with a dining table and two chairs in the living room. The large TV is its best feature with access to several apps. The kitchen is well equipped but the timer on the oven is broken, and the microwave is extremely basic. Other than that, it is fine. There is a conservatory with another ding table and four chairs and a metal rocking chair. It leads into the small rear yard. Upstairs are the bedroom and bathroom. The bed is a standard double and we didn’t find it very comfortable but mattress tensions are a matter of personal preference it just wasn’t ideal for us. The bathroom is fine with lovely large bath and shower over. If you can get your leg high enough to get into the bath for a shower mind hour head on boxed section that the shower head is right up against. The steep stairs have been mentioned in several reviews and yes they are steep but what makes the precarious is the lack of a anything to hold onto on the bottom turn into the kitchen. Fortunately, I was there to catch my wife when slipped on the narrow-stepped bend when descending. Having rented cottages all over the country for over 20 years what lets this one down is that it is stocked on a bare minimum basis. One single ply loo roll (though I found half of another one in a cupboard. Two dishwasher tablets and around 3 or 4 washing machine pods. Two small pedal bin liners. Three logs were provided for the stove. One soft washing up pad. The welcome pack consisted of four cheap biscuits and the smallest carton of milk only. So then, Good if you eat out all the time and don’t need to do much washing or dishwashing but only adequate if you do. It is far from bad but not good enough for us to return. It sounds harsh but we have lots to compare it to.

Parking is available at the front for one car, and as you enter the front garden through the white picket fence, you will discover a bistro style table and chairs that you can sit out on with a morning coffee. Head inside the property into the porch, where you can leave coats and shoes, before heading into the inviting sitting room, where the woodburning stove placed within the exposed brick fireplace is very much the centrepiece of the room; settle down on the couch or armchair and enjoy the warmth from the fire as you choose a film to watch on the wall-mounted TV. The well-equipped kitchen is kitted out with all of the appliances you could wish for during your self-catering holiday, with a soft green décor that brightens the space and even a dishwasher to take care of any washing up. Enjoy a romantic dinner for two in the sunroom, which offers dining seating and a French door that opens onto the enclosed patio, where you can relax with a glass of wine on a warm summer's evening.
