Guests say
Brock Cottage is a well-equipped, comfortable property with a convenient location close to local amenities and the beach. Guests appreciate its spaciousness, cosiness, and secure garden. While some maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is positive, with many guests willing to return.
The property generally appears to be clean, with one report of a satisfactory clean under challenging circumstances. However, there are mentions of an overgrown garden and some external maintenance needed, which slightly affects the overall cleanliness perception.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach, local amenities, and restaurants. Some guests noted noise from the road and neighbours, but the convenience of the location is a significant positive factor.
The cottage is described as cosy and comfortable, with well-furnished rooms and comfortable beds. However, some guests mentioned issues with light disturbance due to thin curtains and a lack of blinds, which impacted their comfort.
The property is well-equipped, but several reviews mention the need for garden maintenance, updating parking information, and minor additions to the kitchenware. The lack of a blind in the bathroom was a recurring issue.
While guests have suggested improvements, there is no mention of welcome gifts or additional thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to score this category.

Brock Cottage is in a very convenient position within seconds of harbour, beach eateries, walks etc. Bonus of own parking space. Tardis like cottage with large rooms (& some fab artwork!). Enclosed garden great for the dog. However, the garden whilst being pretty, could do with a tidy up. Also (& as others have said), no blind in the main bathroom only a net (which is no use with the lights on!?.). Some noise from neighbours also. Would probably book again... but not at full price. Overall, lovely cottage.

Parking in the car park was a hassle and expensive. A parking space could be made in the front garden. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Tasteful decor. Some maintenance needed on the outside of the cottage - slates slipped on the roof and weeds growing out of some guttering. Lovely cottage.
