Several reviews mention cleanliness issues such as cobwebs, dirty utility rooms, and unclean kitchen appliances, suggesting a need for improvement in this area.
The property's location is highly regarded for its tranquility, proximity to the beach, and beautiful surroundings, making it a favourite for repeat visitors.
Guests find the property comfortable overall, especially for those with dogs, but some have raised concerns about uncomfortable mattresses and a damp smell in one of the bedrooms.
The property is considered well-equipped by some, but many reviews point out the need for updates and basic maintenance, such as fixing broken items and refreshing the decor.

A lovely location if you like peace and quiet. Perfect for me and my two dogs who loved the beach walking. The view of the sea especially when a bit wild is superb. Cottage has everything I need and local amenities are only a short drive away.
