I have to say I was slightly worried, reading the most recent reviews before we arrived last week but I needn't have been. It was a beautifully appointed cottage with everything and more.

Some of the photographs of the property are misleading because the interior was shabby and not as shown, no TV in rear bedroom as shown, sitting room side tables not as shown and no welcome basket in the kitchen as shown. The old fashioned woodburner was difficult to light and keep alight as no kindling provided.The kitchen stinks of oil because ofRead more the old heating system and the microwave had a broken door opening mechanism. The downstairs shower room had silverfish running across the floor and a toothbrush holder had black slime inside and went straight into the dishwasher. The curtains in the rear bedroom had many curtain hooks broken off and so hung well below the rail.The wheelie bin was overflowing with rubbish on arrival blocking the entrance. Apart from the propertys location and view from the rear which were great, the property was a huge disappointment, and we left a day early. Hide

Excellent holiday cottage, very clean, comfortable, well equipped, and lovely views. Super dog friendly, the owners have really thought about making the garden as secure as possible, there is even a separate little gated courtyard by the back door and a hose to wash muddy paws.

The view from the cottage is fabulous, with Holy Island and the sea. The cottage has most things you need. We booked it for 25th Anniversary and also because it was "dog friendly". I think the cottage guide needs to be updated, and also I would suggest better language - I think the 'threat' of expulsion if you don't clean up the dog's mess immediatRead moreely is very poor. Games room is a nice touch. Overall the place needs a little updating. At present overpriced in my view, but we had a good time. Hide

Cottage is on a fairly busy road making access from the parking area quite hazardous. Directions to cottage were difficult and need to be more accurate especially if arriving at night as we did. Lovely warm cottage and comfortable with good shower and hot water.

A wonderfully charming old cottage well equiped and well placed for so many castles and beaches. Cozy and welcoming for us and our dogs. We thought the games room a clever touch for adults and children. There are plenty of safe dog parks within 15-20 mins drive which our dofs loved. We would happily revisit..
