It is unfortunate to have to write this negative review as this terraced cottage has so much potential but needs serious renovation and certainly a good clean. There is a strong smell of mould when you enter the cottage and the smoke alarm is hanging by a wire from the ceiling. This is not safe for visitors. The 2 side bedrooms are absolutely tiny with built in bunk beds that are short and narrow and with mattresses that are absolutely filthy. I was completely shocked to see the dirt of the side bedrooms and mattresses and sent photos of them to Anna immediately. The reply was that the cottage was only booked for one so it didn't matter that the rest of the tiny cottage was dirty. I explained that i had booked the entire cottage and had said 'we' in all messages so had made a mistake as it was 2 adults and 2 children and that even if i had arrived alone i would have expected the cottage to be clean and livable throughout. We left a night early as the children couldn't sleep in the bunk beds they were so small, narrow and dirty.
The cottage is in a row of 4 all connected and with a shared front garden. The last 2 cottages are being renovated and there was building work going on with concrete etc in the gardens.
The location of the cottage with its proximity to the beach is really wonderful but the cottage itself is in a dreadful state. Even in the kitchen i opened a drawer and there was sticky residue and flies in it. There were cobwebs and spiders all over the ceilings. I am so disappointed as we had been so looking forward to this stay and the owners attitude was very disappointing that she could not acknowledge that the cottage is in an unacceptable state. Fortunately airbnb stepped in and refunded part of our stay when they saw the photos.
