People had mentioned damp smell it was hardly noticeable one thing to be aware of is the drive it’s steep off of the road so if you have a low fronted vehicle it catches. ##### Karen P.

A very pleasant stay, just right for walking along coast path and other local byways. The cottage had a steep drive for car, but this was better than leaving car on edge of road like most properties in the little settlement of Bucks Mills.

Great (though very rocky) beach just at the bottom of the road. Couple of grumbles though: Not sure if it's damp or all the oak furniture, but my wife's asthma was really playing up. The garden isn't really used - there's an old picnic bench stuck round the side, but nothing that really encourages you to sit outside. Bedrooms are very small - double room didn't even have the floor space to open two suitcases at the same time. Overall it felt a little small and basic to justify the price tag. Not sure if the prices were inflated due to the lock-down, but left feeling a little short changed.

Very warm, comfortable cottage. Perfect for a quiet getaway. Just 2 small problems: The driveway needs attention. The garden is not secure for dogs because of work being carried out next door.
