Shrimp Cottage - 3 bed renovated cottage with stunning sea views

Good Location /modern appliances / TVs with Netflix was a bonus/ tastefully decorated

A lot of steps to entrance for us oldies! With 5 staying eating around the fold up table was not easy.

The property was great. Warm, pretty and a great location. There is one lovely double bedroom with an amazing view. One decent sized room with twin beds, and a box room with a single bed. I thought this was usful to clarify I wasn't completely clear about these facilities from the description which lacked a photo of the single room. We had a very good stay there. For us, keen walkers, it worked well to unload luggage and then park the car at the top of the village and forget about it.

Somewhat rusty key box which made getting the key a little tricky (bring WD40). While we had a fire, part of the fire grate fell out hot. We used teh tongs to put it back but on closing the fire door, it cracked. The host asked us to pay, and in the end we made a contribution but not the full cost because we didn't really feel responsible.

The property was charming and beautiful. It has everything you could possibly need!

The only issue was that the property was quite hard to find. If you unload your car where instructed by the owner, go up the steps and turn left, it is the property with the pink door that is hidden.

Stunning cottage, thoughtfully equipped. Finished to a very high spec.

A lovely quaint little cottage, very tastefully decorated in an ideal location with great views from the cliff/seating area at the back. The kitchen is small but has everything you require, the stairs are quiet narrow to the bathroom but this adds to the quaintness and character, the beds are comfy and the top room has a great view over the harbour, the living area is very easy to relax in, especially if you light the wood burner, a nice glass of red in front of a roaring fire and you won't bother switching on the tv. eating out is easy with 2 great pubs to choose from, you can order take out pizza just up the road and there's shops a short walk away should you wish to cook and eat in. As a tip you should take what my partner calls a welcome pack with you (alcohol, tea, coffee, kitchen roll, milk, butter, bread, jam and biscuits etc) as these are quiet expensive in the local shop and it means you can hit the ground running, also it's an idea to buy your logs and fire lighter at the house at the bottom of the lane on your way up to drop your things off, this saves you having to carry them up the hill. all in all, we loved it here, not having a phone signal sealed it for us and we spent a fab time relaxing and didn't really want to leave. We will definitely return.

A great location, you can drive in to the village to drop your stuff and any passengers off, but you then have to park outside the village at the top of a very steep hill in the car park and walk back, which is fine on arrival but should you need to use your car again it's quiet a climb and anyone with mobility issues are going to really struggle. The wood burner hadn't been cleaned out by the previous guests which didn't take long to do to be honest, and the sofa needed a good hoover but the rest of the cottage was very clean. The only real negative which is nothing what so ever to do with the property, is dog owners, letting them run around off a lead and the sandy beach in the harbour was littered with dog mess while kids are playing, the local council really should police this tightly, or ban dogs completely as it isn't acceptable.

Fabulous views, comfy beds , clean linen and towels, lovely relaxed decor

Cottage was in a great location within the village, quiet and with an amazing sea view in the top bedroom.

The stairs would benefit from some additional subtle lighting at night (e.g. night lights) as the stairs/low ceilings are hard to navigate when it is dark. While you can drive into the village to unload (as per instructions), guests need to be aware that the cottage is on a steep road and it's not clearly visible from the street. If you are not travelling light, it would be easier if you reversed up the road (as there is no real space for turning when you leave) or stayed at the bottom of the road and carried your things up.
