The cottage cleanliness was fine, although there were a considerable number of cobwebs in the property.. Also the kitchen sink was quite brown and I had to clean it with bleach to bring it up to the standard I would expect. Cottage was well situated for our needs and we enjoyed our stay.

Yes the bread bin had been overlooked in cleaning and the bath non slip mat was very mouldy, I put it in the washing machine before using it and it came up cleaner, I need a slip mat as I am waiting for a knee replacement.. We would be interested in a cottage all on one level for future visits, we had a fab time. Thank you

Just fab, thank you!

Good: really nice touch to have the dog stuff, but it would have been good to know in advance so I didn't bring the same with me, in an already packed car! Nicely equipped kitchen and the house was really comfy for us. Just a shame there is not more outside space! Needs improvement: had requested both beds to be unzipped, as requested, but one was not, which meant I had to sleep in a bunk bed all week. There was no bathmat in the main bathroom, which meant we had to use a towel. Please make sure there is one as it was a bit tricky for my elderly mother to use the bath without a non-slip mat. The parking was difficult. In addition to the cars for no.6, someone from the flats opposite regularly parked their 20 reg blue Renault Captur outside Church House. They told me it was none of my business when I queried why they couldn't park in the flats' car parking!

Overall the cottage was fine, good facilities and location, however, the place could have been a bit cleaner.. There were still drink stains on some coffee tables, the skirting boards were quite dusty and there also plenty of cobwebs in most rooms. Well equipped kitchen with washing machine and dishwater and plenty of crockery. Comfortable beds. Could have been a 9/10, but on this visit 7/10.

We love sanctuary cottage we stayed last year so came back again it suits our family needs .. Well equipped even down to the dog

Sanctuary cottage is a lovely holiday home with everything you need for a great stay.. Only a short walk to the beach and local shops and pub and perfect for dogs. The only slight thing was we didn’t realise it was shared access with the next door house this didn’t prove to be an issue though as the couple who live there were really lovely dog friendly and helpful. All in all a lovely stay.

Lounge was very dusty (tv stand, windowsills, cooker hood).. Lounge had a slight wet dog smell. Children should be provided with large towels as well as small.

Fabulous place and I’ve rebooked for September

The cottage was very lovely, and the addition of a Christmas Tree to meet us on arrival was a kind thought.. Nothing was lacking in the facilities, indeed I believe your description did not do it justice. The only downside was the comfort of the beds in the twin room, perhaps the owners might like to address this for the coming season. We will be back to the island and despite ample accommodation being available for tourists we will return to Sanctuary Cottage.

Lovely quiet location, with easy access to some beautiful beaches, walks and restaurants.. A beautiful dog friendly property that quickly felt like home. Probably could have been ever so slightly cleaner as there were cobwebs everywhere and the bathroom upstairs was in need of some TLC. The wall clocks weren’t working and there was only one bulb working in the staircase hallway (however with the height of the ceilings I expect this is easier said then done). In reality though these were only tiny blemishes on a beautiful warm home that we would happily return to, and to be completely honest we were incredibly sad to have to leave.

Lovely holiday home, close to the sea.. Great for dog walking, lovely neighbour. Small bedroom mattresses need updating for comfort. House has all you need and lots if parking outside. Would visit again x

The cottage was very clean and really well equipped.. It is located in a quiet village with a delightful beach, which has a lovely pier cafe and a great restaurant on the waterfront. Unfortunately, the cottage design upstairs wasn’t good for my husband who is over 6 foot, as he was regularly banging his head on the sloping ceilings of the main bedroom and bathroom. The downstairs is very dark, even on a sunny day and lights are needed all the time to use the kitchen. The outdoor area is right next to the road, and wasn’t very comfortable for siting out in as it only had a small picnic table. As the path to the entrance is shared it doesn’t feel very private or relaxing to sit outside.

Beautiful cottage, wonderfully restored in a superb location.. ..an ideal break especially with the dogs and the beach being such a short walk away.

It was great.. The cottage felt like home and it was wonderful to be able to take the dogs with us. They felt at home too. The location was ideal and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. Thank you!
