Great cottage, very spacious and comfortable. Quite a few lights or switches not working but overall this didn’t detract from our holiday.

We had a lovely, relaxing break in Maisie Cottage. The house is very spacious, comfortable and warm. It is well equipped and has everything you need. We were there as a couple, but it can sleep up to six. I do feel it would benefit from a second bathroom but it was ok for the two of us.It is in a great location, just a few minutes walk from the harbour and the views from the kitchen and the main bedroom are wonderful.I would highly recommend this lovely cottage for couples but I think a larger party may struggle with just the one bathroom.

This cottage has good and bad points.A good location, easy to park, warm and comfortable.However it's let down by the brick hard, hand and bath towels, they where like sandpaper.Curtains hanging off in the bedrooms and window in twin bedroom, condensation and what looked like mould in-between the double glazing. No washing up liquid and some of the lamps not working.
