Very pleasant

Lovely stay in a sleepy little seaside town. Cottage was great with every amenity imaginable included. Quiet location only meters from the beach. Reception staff were very friedly and helpful and gave us some discount vouchers to use at several of the local eateries. The town itself was pretty quiet and pretty well shut down by 6pm, so not suitable for party animals, but great for a quiet,romantic getaway.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Not impressed. The room had fluff/dirt all over the floor and toenail clippings on the floor around the table, we were given another room which was a downgrade to what we originally booked and paid for. There was no compensation for the downgrade. The replacement room had a pair of ladies Dirty underwear just under the bed and dirty dishes in the drawer, there was also brown scum around the shower which wiped off with a finger. The reception lady was made aware of the issues when we checked out, her reply was 'oh thats no good' and that was it. Definitely overpriced for the condition of the rooms.

Timothy

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The cottage was okay but very poorly equipped; not enough cutlery, crockery and low quality pans; the a/c was not up to the task of keeping the living area comfortable and the bedrooms has no heat nor a/c. But our main complaint is that the management failed to communicate that access to the cottage was going to be impeded by contractors laying asphalt to the driveways. Indeed, contradictory information was provided by management and various members of the contractor's team resulting in a misunderstanding that resulted in a rude confrontation with the contractor. Management failed to manage guest communications and were absent when we checked out.
