  Stone's Throw is a lovely property and was chosen by us because of its close proximity to The Sole Bay Inn. My wife has been diagnosed PSP which is a very rare form of dementia. We would normally have eaten out every evening but the pub didn't serve food during the week. This meant I had to cook for us. The kitchen is very nicely equipped, however, the instruction provided are inadequate. I had to telephone you to try and find out how to switch the hob on, there is a child-proof lock and the instructions on the hob have this hidden in very small print. I think there should be a more positive instruction about this at the head of the instruction. The oven instruction are totally inadequate. There is a note to say more comprehensive instructions are available online. An internet search only showed that you could purchase them. All of the kitchen appliance instructions are photocopied and reduced to get them one a sheet of A4. This makes the very difficult to read as the font size is below 8. The difficulty I had is very easily remedied and I hope is done so for future guests to what is a charming little cottage.

  Bearing in mind you have cleaners going in once the property is vacated, we were disappointed to find a large cobweb underneath one of the kitchen cupboards and a large dust ball hanging from the underneath of the landing radiator.

  Generally speaking, the property was of an acceptable clean standard. With regards to the appliances in the kitchen, all worked properly, however, in our opinion the dishwasher was too small given that four people can stay in the cottage. With regards to the main bathroom, our only comment is the glass shelf above the wash basin is positioned in an almost dangerous position when one wants to bend to rinse their mouth for example - one has to actually duck your head underneath the shelf to access the basin properly. Bed was very comfortable, but alas, the sofa was on the hard side and not particularly comfortable to sit on. The welcome pack does need to be updated to include the correct information regarding the recycling bottle bank location and also the fact the recycling bins are only collected on a fortnightly basis rotating with the general waste bin. Regarding the above, we did enjoy our time at Poppy Cottage, neighbours were lovely and welcoming - location was great. We look forward to returning.

  Lovely cottage in fantastic location.

  Perfect size for 2 adults and toddler. Good size sitting room, practical kitchen with everything you need, nice downstairs cloakroom (with washing machine), very good bathroom with Velux window (you can hear the sea when open!), very comfortable bedrooms. Good size patio out back which becomes a sun spot - really relaxing. Really sleepy cottage, with excellent feel. A lot of thought has gone into providing guests with everything they need, so I would recommend, and we hope to stay again. If there was only one criticism; I'm sure guests would appreciate the standard milk, butter, bread on arrival. Final touch would make this property excellent.

  Poppy Cottage has been refurbished to an extremely high standard.

  My wife and I enjoyed our stay very much because it was so comfortable and its location to the shops and beach and pier so convenient. Parking was so easy even when none was to be found in Victoria St. Now some bad points. None of the locks on internal doors work to hold the door shut except the lounge door. Even the privacy locks on the WC and bathroom do not engage so no privacy ! Front and back door have to be slammed very hard to engage the locks on exit. User manuals for kitchen equipment were not to be found even in the location mentioned in the guide book.

  We loved our stay at Stones Throw! The property is comfortable and we felt able to make yourself at home immediately. I loved seeing the lighthouse every morning, although the blackout blind in the bedroom is great. The kitchen and bedrooms are cosy but this allows for a really generous living space which was lovely to spend time in. The location is fantastic for the beach, the pub, and a short walk to the high street. We particularly loved the eccentric local cinema and the diversity of places to eat and drink. I am sure we will be back!
