Not the best place to stay

The location of the cottage was good. The living area looked tired & dated, the sofas had covers which were grubby & were uncomfortable. The garden is not enclosed so if you want to sit outside with your children or a dog it’s not really suitable. We also found a cigarette box with old dog ends in between the bed & side cabinet, (was meant to be non smoking inside) which in the current Covid times was not good & put us off so only stayed 3 nights instead of 4

I guess everyone likes different things, less than one month prior to your arrival the guests staying gave it a 5 star review and would definitely stay again! Here is what they said.....Lovely open plan space plenty of room for the 7 of us plus dog. Really nice area walkable to the beach. Nice sized bedrooms. Plenty of parking. Would definitely stay again.......These guests found it ideal for their dog, and there is indeed a picture of the garden on the listing and it shows that it is not fully enclosed leading onto the back driveway. The cottage is indeed non smoking, it always has been, and will continue to be non smoking. We clean and ventilate the cottage prior to each let. I am sorry it was not to your liking, and I wish you well for the future.

Neighbours held a disco party from 01.00 Sunday morning

Property was very clean and basic facilities. One of the double beds frame was worn out. Windows were sealed closed in upstairs bedroom. Great location. Unfortunately neighbours had a wild party- finished at 02.30am with another neighbour screaming "turn it down you f££king muppets " Good location for young party goers.

overpriced, extremely basic property

The lounge room had an overpowering smell of wet dog. We had to cover the couches with the quilt covers to be able to sit down and take the rug out and mop the floor as the smell was awful. There were only the most basic of kitchen utensils - a few ancient, battered, cheap quality items. No tin foil, cling film or any such everyday items. The outside of the oven door became dangerously hot and I burned my hand on it. The microwave was miniature. The one casserole dish would not fit in it. The extractor fan in the shower room doesn't work. The shower head/hose would not fit into the riser holder so had to hold it over your head to shower. The glass shower screen is too short so water sprays out onto the floor. No hairdryer. The pillows were stained and some were so old and flat that they were doubled up. Old quilts used for mattress protectors. No curtains, only roller blinds that let light in all around the edges. All in all very poorly maintained, uncomfortable house with no nice touches and extremely poor value for money. I would not recommend this place

Comfortable space

Good location for mini break. Not 10 mins to beach (as per details). You'll need to drive.. but good car park and lovely beach for all. Very small garden area which could be improved to make a more relaxing outside area. Back door also very stiff to close. Clean tidy and comfortable house ideal for break with friends

As expected

My overall impression of this cottage is that it is tired. The kitchen was adequate, everything we needed (except for a potato masher) was provided.. We had WiFi which was a bonus. The 2 sofas were tired. The beds were uncomfortable, thankfully we only stayed 3 nights. It listed pets welcome, but it’s not pet friendly, the garden was open. Not a major problem , but an inconvenience. The cottage for us was ideally located as we were visiting family in Highcliffe, if not for that I don’t think we would have chosen this listing. Overall everything worked but I felt for the price we paid it should have been more comfortable.
