The reviews that we had read prior to booking were accurate.. The bad points were: the incredibly overgrown garden and patio, front and back, a real mess so we couldn't use them at all; the house could have been cleaner particularly the kitchen utensils and it needs more crockery; the stairs (lots of quirky steps in and out of bathrooms) are very steep and should be highlighted in the description; all the furnishings and ornaments/artworks are very old and tatty, looks like a bunch of things that no one wanted. The kitchen island is absolutely huge to the point of making it difficult to move around when preparing food and the various utility rooms are full of junk.The good points were the location, and that's what you pay for - to be in the central village square walking distance from everything; the beds are very comfortable and the showers all work very well. I've used Sykes for years to book cottages and loved them all. This is the first time I felt the need to review one (negatively) - a prime location should not be an excuse to charge such a high rental when the house is not maintained properly.

Cottage could have been a lot cleaner, toilet seat didn’t fit Slippy stairs Back gate had to be left unlocked Leaking heated towel rail Pots pans etc not in a cupboard just under the kitchen island and this is a dog friendly cottage so guess where the hair is going! Loose floorboards throughout the property enough to pinch bare feet. No plug in the bath tub so couldn’t use it So on the whole not great and I wouldn’t stay there again which is a shame as it’s perfectly situated in a stunning village.

There was a pot of clotted cream and margarine in the fridge and a jar of jam and four scones in the kitchen waiting for us which was a lovely start to our holiday.. The cottage was very tidy and spacious. The only negative thing I can say is that the washing machine didn't spin, drain or wash our clothes thoroughly and needs to be looked at. Also the washing line in the garden needs to be replaced as the current one is unusable. Luckily there was a dryer. There also needs to be locks on the en-suite doors and the window to the main bathroom didn't open. There was off road parking for one car which was fab. and there was a small beach within a two minute walk and a general shop also within a minute's walk. All in all it was a pleasant week although we won't be staying here again as we like to try different areas to stay in each year.

Issues that can be easily resolved: Front gate not operable, hedge over grown blocking gate Fish tank leaking Drive way gate broken - off the hinges Kitchen to cluttered with excess bench space access to dryer hindered access to fridge unacceptable outside court yard required basic maintenance and sweeping prior to use BBQ lid requires handle Ensuite shower pressure requires adjusting Furnishings out of date and smelled.. Access to main bathroom I believe not to standard and are a trip hazard.

Portscatho is a small but wonderfully positioned village, for walks along the coast, and relatively quiet coves and beaches.. Friendly local pub which does excellent food (you need to book) and excellent local shop and butcher. House old, beautiful and quirky. We would definitely go back. Parking isn't easy in the village but there is space for a medium sized car in front of the house.

Great location.. Comfy beds and nice hot powerful showers. The house was freezing when we arrived - colder than outside. It would have been nice if the heating had been put on for us. The stairs are uneven - not a problem for us but could be tricky for some older people.
