Our family of four enjoyed our time in Stanley but definitely have mixed feelings about our stay at @the beach. Sam was a great host - was very responsive and left fresh flowers and a welcome platter of cheeses for us (much appreciated). The accommodation felt larger than expected, was well equipped and had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable and bed linen and towels were good quality. However, it would be remis of me not to mention a few things to help you work out if this is the right accommodation for you. The front end of the house is older and has a musty sort of smell - open doors and windows made it ok. The back end of the house seems newer - but in a rough kind of way. All the surfaces were clean but there were lots of spiders and cobwebs. There is a large herb garden in an inside garden box, near the kitchen. The plants were covered in insects and aphids, which we found very unpleasant. The location of the cottage was the absolute standout - very special.
