  Lovely quiet location. Accommodation is comfortable for 3 people. Decoration and level of fittings were good (2 en-suites). Perfectly situated for touring. Bright, clean and cosy, good attention to detail in most cases.

  Bare minimum of toiletries provided. Kitchen utensils plentiful but lacking a sharp knife, and a kitchen roll would have been helpful.

  Disappointing as the issue with the radiator somewhat ruined out holiday and very frustrating experience dealing with Ho

  Location good. Beds comfortable.

  Major issue with the radiator in master bedroom which had a fault resulting in a loud intermittent beep that ruined our first night as we couldn’t sleep. An engineer came the next day and couldn’t fix the issue so advised us to cut the power from the upstairs of the apartment when we went to bed so we could sleep. Not ideal e.g. no power to charge phones and read my book in bed. Host and Stay customer service to deal with the issue has been appalling and weeks after our stay I’m still yet to hear back from them on my request for compensation - seems to be an AI response designed to fob me off.

  Lovely cottage in a great location - would go again.

  Great little cottage, beautifully decorated, great location and good to have parking (in a tight little courtyard but fine for our mini countryman). 30 seconds walk to the beach and cliff path.

  Kitchen wasn’t particularly well stocked (eg. The only 2 knives were both bread knives, only 6 teaspoons etc). And water pressure not the best (takes ages to fill a bath, and the shower can’t be used at the same time). But that doesn’t detract from a great place to stay.

  Lovely 2 bed cottage in perfect location to explore this beautiful part of the UK

  Great location, tucked away in a communal courtyard, with safe parking facilities. A short walk to all the local shops, restaurants and bars. A healthy walk or very short drive to the beautiful sandy beaches, which are perfect for walking your dog.

  The mattress in the main bedroom was a little soft for our own preference but not so much as to affect our overall comfort. Instructions on how to use the induction hob would have been useful. Got there in the end but a simple guide would have saved us a good 10 minutes.
