We will not be returning.
Hi
Our stay at Cockleshell Cottage WAS NOT ENJOYABLE and we will not be returning. The issues were:
1 On arriving, the cottage had not been cleaned and dirty bedding was in the shower. This was rectified after our complaint. We had access at 5.30.
2 The cottage was frizzing cold as no heating was on. After turning it on, the cottage warmed up by the next day.
3 There are light bulbs missing and the electric fire in the front room does not work.
4 On the Saturday we found that the shower door was stuck. we could not open it so it could not be used. The toilet seat is also louse, so when it was used it moved.
We left a day early than booked, first thing Sunday morning pleased to be going home

Lovely property , well located , if you are in your 60 like
Us the very steep staircase and small shower not ideal ,
The Fisherman cottage was just what we expected, clean with all what we wanted for our weeks stay. Every think in the house was there even some ice for a G & T. Parked the car up in the car park just over the back and the sea was was only a hop. skip and jump from the front door. Had coffee in the morning at the front garden table, so did our neighbours so had a good chat even with passing locals and holiday makers. Looking to go back next year.
