Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests finding it clean and cosy. However, a few guests noted issues such as leftover food and a stray bottle cap, suggesting room for improvement in checking crockery and cleaning appliances.
The location is highly regarded due to its proximity to tourist attractions, local amenities, and the peacefulness of the village. The convenience of local buses and the ease of accessing beaches by car are also appreciated.
Most guests find the cottage comfortable, with a particularly comfy bed and a cool bedroom during a heatwave. However, some guests mentioned a hard bed and noise from neighbours, indicating that comfort levels may vary.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and a fabulous shower. Nonetheless, guests pointed out issues with Wi-Fi, thin walls, and a lack of information on appliance use, suggesting some areas need attention.
While guests have expressed satisfaction with the overall experience, there are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness category.
