Most guests found the property clean and well-presented, though there were isolated reports of cleanliness issues such as crumbs and unemptied bins. The majority of feedback, however, suggests a generally high standard of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity and proximity to the beach, with many guests enjoying the local walks and friendly community. The ease of access to nearby attractions also contributes to the high score.
Guests find the rooms comfortable and the living area cosy. However, some guests noted the property could be cramped for larger groups and suggested it is more suitable for smaller parties or short stays.
The absence of a shower and limited kitchenware are noted drawbacks. While some guests are satisfied with the facilities, others suggest that additions such as a proper shower and more seating could enhance the experience.

The property is close to the beach and a one hour walk away from the local shops at chaple st leonards. I'm a keen walker but I was disappointed that there was not the facility of a shower following a days walk. There is a bath but considering the amount of people who have stayed at the property then I didn't find this a very hygienic option. The sofa was comfortable but there were stains on the cushions and arms of the furniture which would benefit from a deep clean. Overall it was a pleasant stay for a long weekend and the Weather was nice to.

Such a pleasant, comfortable, nicely furnished place in quiet location and ideal for Anderby Creek beach and the friendly local bar/restaurant.
