Just perfect

We had a fantastic stay. The property is clean, warm and welcoming. Double bed was super comfy with excellent bedding. Kitchen well equipped and user friendly. The lounge is large yet has a lovely cosy vibe. Close to the village and beach. I can highly recommend the Admiral Benbow for a drink (cash only) and the Marina chippy, the best fish and chipps! Will definitely return. Many thanks. Vanessa and John

lovely location

The cottage was fine for a couple of nights with the grandchildren, everything is close by & an easy walk to shops & beach. The house could do with a bit of TLC and the upstairs loo seat was missing (apparently the previous guests had an accident) & it wasn't replaced during our stay but this didn't cause us a problem. Beds were comfortable & there is plenty of hot water.

Great family and dog friendly stay!

A week away with family and 3 dogs. Very clean throughout and everything we needed was available. Fab enclosed garden with outdoor furniture - dogs loved it as did we. Really good location, area was lovely. Property does require some maintenance/repairs in a few areas. However, this did not affect our lovely week away and we would definitely stay here again. Also, communication with host was excellent, thank you 😊

Great seaside cottage

Located in a quiet cul-de-sac this cottage is the perfect location to explore the surrounding villages and coastline. The garden is very spacious and was perfect for our dog. Overall standard of the house is very good but it does need a little bit of TLC to bring it up to excellent. Just a few minutes walk from the village centre where there are a good selection of shops and places to eat. Only criticism is that the volume on the TV has been pre set making it difficult to hear some programmes and the toilet seat upstairs does not fit correctly, however we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Good stay shame about the maintainence

Great stay but with no seat on the upstairs toilet and a note saying one is on order is not good these days with 24hrs delivery and we saw several available in discount warehouses around the area. Also there was a large hole in the kitchen wall where a fan should have been, it did have a grate in the kitchen but otherwise was open to the strong winds that were about during our stay. This made the kitchen very cold. It would also help if there was a clear indication of what goes it what wheelie bin (as it is different to our area) separate bins inside might be an idea.

Quiet cottage

Overall we enjoyed our stay at sunshine cottage. Check in instructions slightly misleading, as they say entry by front door, but back door keys in key safe. Cottage very clean. Quirky set up, with bathroom downstairs. The place needs a re-wire, and a better heating/ hot water system upgrade. I say that as an electrician for over 40 years. Nobody has single sockets everywhere with extension leads plugged in all over. Emersion heater kept us awake, also noisy fridge/ freezer. Heating set at wrong on / off times. Anyway moan over ! We loved the cottage, great place to stay. Everything handy within a short walk. Our dog Sam , enjoyed the garden. Overall good stay.

The perfect dog friendly cottage

Sunshine Cottage was perfect for a trip with our two dogs. The cottage was fresh and clean and the large garden was 100% secure. Location was great with a short walk to the beach or lovely countryside. Local shops, takeaways and dog friendly bars and restaurants plus the new North Sea Observatory made for a perfect weekend. Will definitely book again.

Gorgeous UK break

This was a lovely break in a lovely spacious property. Loads of room and the garden is huge. Only a short walk to the beach. My only criticism would be that it didn’t say anywhere that we would have to pay for electricity separately. Due to Covid we were asked to take our own bedding, including duvets. This was a huge problem for us as we didn’t have enough space in the car to fit three duvets / pillows in. (There was no price reduction for this either). The advert says tea/ coffee etc provided so we didn’t take any with us, but only two tea bags were provided.
