10/10 Exceptional

All communicationwas friendly and helpful. We were going to be arriving late, so we rang to let them know. We received a cheerful response saying this would be fine. The unit was very clean and warm. It was fully set up with all utensils and appliances. Although it wasn't required it was good to see the unit including the bathroom facilities were accessible to disabled people. If we return to the area we would certainly return here and also recommend Bay Cottages.

Fantastic hosts, extremely clean & well presented. It was nice to be out of the mainstream but close enough if wanted to indulge in retail therapy or dine out.

Comfortable and quiet
This was a nice hotel with great amenities. Very friendly check in. Private and quiet. The office could be better marked (you have to go behind the house on the street). Property and room was very clean. The beds in the cottage we stayed in were past their best before date and need to be changed out. The on site laundry was awesome and the lady offered a drying rack too. Very sweet.
