Guests that stayed at this property said
Cleanliness has been a concern for some guests, with reports of cobwebs, dirty alleyways, and unemptied bins. However, not all reviews mention cleanliness issues, suggesting experiences may vary.
The location is highly praised for being central and convenient, close to local amenities and attractions. However, some guests noted noise from the street as a downside.
Comfort received mixed reviews, with positive remarks about the property's warmth and space. However, several guests found the mattresses uncomfortable and the living room sofa too soft.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and ample space. Some guests mentioned a lack of certain kitchen items and mirrors, and issues with windows not opening.
While the property was decorated for a Christmas break, there is insufficient information to assess overall thoughtfulness as gifts are not consistently mentioned across reviews.

Kitchen would benefit from a deep clean especially the table. Beds very soft with memory foam mattresses, double bed bed on 1st floor needs attention, one of the end lats was built upside down so the mattress was lopsided. Noise from adjoining cottage (47a) above kitchen at times. Entrance to cottages could do with tidying up and made to look a bit more appealing but is apparently owned by private residents next door, otherwise a very enjoyable stay and nothing that stopped us rebooking both cottages for next year to bring all the family.

The bathrooms were good, shame no loo roll was provided. The kitchen was ok, not very well stocked for the size of the house and the worktops were sticky. The alley way to the property gives a very bad impression and could easily be made to look better. The lounge was very dirty and had cobwebs everywhere, it also had a very musty smell. I understand this is an old property but with a thorough cleaning would be a nicer place to stay.

It was the ideal location - minute walk to cafes, shops, pubs and seafront. This was brilliant for my father who struggles to walk great distances. The house was clean, comfortable, spacious and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay here.
