Poor cleanliness - mattress protector dirty, pillow dirty. Woodworm beetles in bedroom wardrobe hence all clothes needed washing when returning home even if not worn! Original Cottages were informed and were sent photos. All staff were pleasant and hopefully our next stay (in different property) will be better.

Excellent place to stay, perfect for the dog, she loved the big grass lawn, only a couple of miles from the beach too. Lovely and spacious, we had a great time here and would definately visit again!

The property needs updating, the mould in the bathroom on the walls needs looking at. Two dishes tablets for a house of 6 for a week, the top oven and grill not working and a big leak from the kitchen tap. The house needs a big spring clean. The shower needs relaxing as it wouldn’t turn off.
