Cottage , seaside views, quiet beach, awesome view

Views were unreal, waking up to a coffee looking out to the sea ... Just stunning

For what we wanted it was spot on and value for money

Location

Shower

The location and the scenery

Dirty grubby, and a smell like the laundry had not been done. No hot water all morning. And the decoration need attention

THE PROPERTY IS NOT AS ADVERTISED AND FILTHY! The 2 bedrooms had dirty bedding on and both were stained. The ensuite bathroom was full of grime and as was the uncleaned family bathroom. The lounge area had broken flooring and the electricals were not fully PAT tested. The fire blanket was cover in cob webs and the kitchen bin below it was coated in dirt. All of the light switches were filthy with smearing on them. The windows to the veranda were filthy and external views of the doors showed lack of maintenance due the peeling and chipped framework. The kitchen was unhygienic, with food left in the freezer which had a build up of frost. There was grease and filth on all of the appliances including inside the oven, microwave and fridge freezer. The roof inside the microwave was orange due to the lack of basic cleaning over time and any other deep cleaning. The extractor hood above the hob was a deep orange colour due to the heavy coating of grime and grease, as was the back splash and wall, again evidence of not only a lack of basic cleaning and housekeeping but any type of deep cleaning or maintenance. The downstairs bathroom had pee stains as were all the other toilets in the property. Both of the shower cubicles were filthy and uncleaned with dirt so old it was black and stained. The family shower over bath was so disgusting - I would not let my dog wash in it let alone me. The bedding had not been changed for some time and had sex stains on the bedding! When booking.com contacted the property owner for a refund on my behalf, the owner said the booking was not refundable and there was no cleaning charge! As I had booked this as a last minute break, it was un-refundable for cancellations but the property is not as advertised. We were staggered by the response stating there is no cleaning charge when you pay £260 for 2 nights, you expect the place to be cleaned and hygienic. Still no sign of my refund despite requesting one several times.

The cottage was clean, tidy and comfortable. The rooms were bright , spacious and well-furnished. The kitchen was well equipped - fridge, freezer, oven, microwave etc, pots, pans, plates and dishes, tools and cutlery. The sitting room opens on to a terrace with a panoramic view of the bay. The bedrooms were spacious, the beds comfortable with a generous supply of bedding and towels.

This is no reflection on the cottage which is lovely but visitors need to know that it's at the top of a very steep hill. If you walk up and down you'll certainly get fit!
