Freshly decorated, comfy beds, great location, everything we needed
I didn’t find the spiral staircase accessible as it is quite cramped

Very cosy and immaculate. Bed comfy. Water pressure amazing. Location so close to main harbour and shops etc. loved it and would go back.
Big enough for the two of us but would feel anymore would be a squeeze.

Superb location for harbour and all amenities. Clean and well equipped cottage.
Space very limited (but name indicated this would be the case) 2 couches not particularly comfy for 4 adults . If you are a light sleeper and on the upper floor the noise from the local night club and early morning seagull chorus may disturb you.

Location was great cosy little cottage everything we needed very quiet nicely decorated
Shame about all the cigarette ends on the entrance down the alley which probably was to do with the pub on the corner there was also a lot of water coming from the drain of the cottage next door which gave a unpleasant smell at times

Very close to all local amenities and attractions etc. Really pretty little property with a nice feel to it. Super clean and comfortable! Lovely bed.
The windows seem to let in a lot of noise from the lane, so it gets a bit loud, but I suppose it that comes with a central location and historic property. There were quite a lot of automated emails during the booking process that got a bit confusing.

Location was great. Everything was within walking distance and shops on doorstep. Grandson loved the amusement arcades and some lovely little cafes.
Cottage was too small, very, very compact. Winding stairs to bedrooms not great and handrail did not go right to top. It was very clean and beds were comfy.

Just too many emails, I received over 14 email from start to finish. I got away to get a break from social media and technology.

The property. Fantastic location, well-appointed, great character
Host and Stay, the booking agent. Excessive emails prior to stay asking for large deposit or to pay damage waiver. Messages continued even after I completed this, to the point of having to call them to check they had received my registration and ask them to stop calling. On arrival found several stains on couch, stained bedding and towels. Very disappointing especially after having been made to pay a fee for the damage deposit - I would have expected it to be immaculate. When I raised the issues, customer service told me they had ‘looked into and resolved the issue’ which was untrue since we were in the property. Emailed again and they made vague offer to ‘look into getting someone out to the property to try to remove stains’, an offer we declined since we did not wish to waste any more of our short 2 night stay responding to emails from Host&Stay. In my view they should have sent someone with clean sheets to drop off immediately. No further compensation offered. If I were the owner of the property, would move to different agent.

Property was great. Process with Host and Stay was hard work. Far too many emails and kept being asked daily to put a damage waiver in place even after we had paid it. Not a good experience. Again property was great.
3.0
awesome location and lovely little cottage
nothing about the property but careful with Host and Stay and their policies. you’re forced into taking the more expensive security deposit option as you have to beg and wait for yours to be returned. I’ve waited 15 days now and was told to e mail the company who took the deposit to find out where it is. ridiculous, it doesn’t take 15 days to check the property hasn’t been damaged and return it. meanwhile they get extra interest whilst your money sits in their account!

It was right in the centre so we did not have to walk far, very clean & owners provided milk, washing up liquid, towels etc, 9 year old daughter loved all the stairs & the room at the top. Definitely book again & highly recommend
only downside was no yard or garden to have a few drinks as weather was so hot
8.0
Great location. Lovely little property too
Would have been nice to have a bin and full length mirror in all the bedrooms. The noise in the middle of the night from loud/drunk people using the alley as they left the local pubs, but that wasn’t the hosts fault. A little mould around the shower tray.
7.0
Lovely quaint cottage, close to everything with excellent parking (paid) very close by. Very clean, with everything you needed to hand
Friday and Saturday nights were exceptionally loud until 4am in the morning. The cottage is located very close to a club and pub, with what seemed to be outdoor speakers. I appreciate the nature of the location in terms of accessibility to everything but perhaps a warning about the location of the clubs and the volume and lateness of the music would have been helpful. The other days we were there it was fine, just the Fri and Saturday
