Setting out for the day, it's only five minutes' walk to the picturesque harbour, where you can sit and relax in a café or bar, watching the boats and the fishermen at work on the quay, or take a fishing trip or small pleasure boat to explore the bay during spring and summer months.

Although the cottage overall was comfortable and looked nice.

The cottage needs some maintenance. The damp in the cottage was very bad, smelt of damp as soon as you walked in and downstairs was the worst. Lots of small moisture traps round the cottage but these were inadequate. Not sure if that was a ventilation system upstairs very noisy but doesn't seem to be working. Some windows were actually rotten. It's a lovely cottage but definitely needs some love and attention. I personally wouldn't go back not unless some work had been completed.

Unfortunately the cottage was presented in an unclean and musty condition.

Efforts to speak to Sykes and lodged a complaint have been thwarted by the company's system continually breaking down. The cottage was absolutely fine but it was not prepared to an acceptable condition for our arrival.

Rose cottage is perfectly placed.

The beds were really comfy. It’s a lovely cottage but does need some work. Windows need some work, lovely sash windows with rotten wood and sills sometimes a bit difficult to open/close. Back door didn’t really fit anymore and was really hard to open/close as needs replacing/ upkeep. We didn’t like to keep slamming it to shut it. Cleanliness isn’t up to scratch. We had filthy frying pans, grill pans still with the previous clients fat/ mess in and not particularly clean floors in bathrooms. Dirty around the downstairs toilets and showers. Quite a lot of mould in the showers which would benefit from just some bleach left on for a while to clean it up. It’s not an awful place and we had a nice holiday there. I just feel it could benefit for maybe some more time spent cleaning and some work being done to bring it up to a better standard.
