Guests say
The Shanty is a well-received holiday cottage, praised for its cleanliness, comfortable furnishings, and well-equipped kitchen. Its garden is appreciated by both pets and owners, and the proximity to the beach and local amenities is a highlight. Some concerns about nearby construction and maintenance issues are noted, but overall guests are keen to return.
Guests consistently mention that The Shanty is spotlessly clean, with fresh sheets and towels, contributing to a high cleanliness rating.
The location is generally well-regarded due to its proximity to the beach and local pub, although some guests were disappointed by the nearby construction and the distance from the sea.
The property is frequently described as comfortable, with comfortable beds and seating. However, a suggestion for higher chairs for older guests slightly affects the score.
Facilities are mostly praised, especially the kitchen, but points are deducted for maintenance issues like the non-working en-suite shower, the need for garden TLC, and an outdated dishwasher.
While the reviews reflect a generally positive experience, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host. Therefore, this score is set to null.

Very comfortable place to stay with lots of space inside and outside, nice hot shower and lovely and warm home, could have done with a bigger bed in the main bedroom but the bed was still very comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped for basic needs, it has a dishwasher but think it’s probably in need of being replaced as didn’t wash the pots very well and looks very old. Has a washer which was useful and has a lovely large fridge and a separate freezer so plenty of space. At the bottom of the garden was a new housing development which was a little noisy at times and during summer whilst sitting outside I would imagine could be annoying but they look close to finishing so won’t be forever! Some higher fencing at the end of the garden maybe needed now the new homes are there to give a bit more privacy , we will still book again as really had a great break.
