Lovely cottage with everything you need. Decorated to high standard in keeping with seaside and cottage feel. Everything was clean. We had a problem with wifi on arrival but the owner attended to it very promptly, and he was very helpful. My husband had to work so wifi was essential. All was sorted excellently. Much appreciated.
Location perfect, especially for my elderly sister in law who has disabilities. She didn't have to drive or park the car, so no steep hills for her to climb. But the parking is up a very steep hill and the roads are narrow, pretty little seaside streets. Just work around that and be patient with other drivers. The location is worth it. beautiful surroundings. Friendly Pub slightly oppositte, fish and chip shop 2 doors down...easy access to sea front. Loved it.
The only improvements I would suggest is better quality towels, or suggest people bring their own. Towels were ok, but old, not luxurious or soft. The beds were too soft both in double and two singles. sinking in. Not my choice, the others also mentioned it. I didn't sleep well. Mattress needs to be firmer. Too much daylight coming in, in double bedroom, also causing restless sleep, not sure what the solution is, with the old windows. Perhaps a curtain rail further away just to close at night.
The garden needs maintenance, it wasn't well kept so not very inviting. The garden could add great value if its designed a bit better, with perhaps a pergola area and cutting back, make a feature/room out of it. Perhaps a little bench outside back door for disabled or elderly to sit on.
Overall I would come back, but mattress needs to be firmer! Had a lovely time in Lavender cottage.
