General cleaning was ok but I had to clean the bannisters as they very sticky and the top one was black with dirt. Shower is need of a deep clean. I vacuumed sofas on arrival and departure. The whole house is lovely clean painted walls Back courtyard area is lovely and nice to relax with a coffee. The street the house is in was very dirty and not welcoming at all. A parking permit would be a nice addition

The location is perfect, very close to the beach but in a quiet mostly residential street where the locals are very friendly. The posh coffee machine was greatly appreciated! The cottage was very clean and the fixtures and fittings are to a high standard, it had everything you could possibly need. Only small gripe is that the rugs in the hallway and Living Room are badly stained and need cleaning or replacing. A Visitor's Book on the table in the alcove would be a nice addition as you can leave useful details for other guests such as restaurant recommendations etc. Otherwise please don't hesitate in booking this lovely cottage.
