Wonderful location, lovely clean cottage with amazing views of the harbour and cliffs beyond.. We were met with scones, jam, milk and clotted cream in the fridge which was very nice. Linens and towels were great quality and clean and bright white. The cottage is very nicely decorated in a beachy theme, the kitchen had all the necessary equipment as well as coffee, tea and sugar (some basic herbs/spices/olive oil would have been welcome as there is no shop within walking distance). No hair dryer was provided and the glass on the wood stove had to be cleaned before we could enjoy the fire. We really enjoyed sitting out on the terrace in the sunshine watching the waves and the seabirds and had lovely cliff walks each day. The beaches in the surrounding areas were wonderful and as we were there in the “off season”, our dog was able to enjoy them as well. We would caution anyone with small children or any mobility issues as this cottage is on a very steep cliff and there are very steep stairs inside and outside the cottage.
Although we enjoyed our stay, our first night was a bit chilly as the electric heaters had not been on and it took until well into the following morning before we felt the cottage had warmed up sufficiently. There is no mobile service in this area so we were not able to contact the housekeeper but emailed Sykes for assistance, it took 24 hours for Sykes to respond and by that time my handy husband had figured out the heating and we had burned through all of the logs provided! Very surprising in view of Sykes reputation for customer service.
A lovely place no matter what the weather!
