“Disappointing Experience with Unhelpful Hosts”
+The location was okay, the beach nearby is small and the tide was high the times we went down in the morning and afternoon.
−We were quite disappointed with the hosts. After we checked out, they attempted to charge my account for a damage deposit, something that was never mentioned in our prior conversations. I would have been happy to settle any outstanding fees had it been communicated clearly during our numerous discussions about payment and travel arrangements. Instead, they waited until after our departure to claim damages for supposed dog prints on the sheets,without any proof,and attempted to charge my card multiple times. When I reached out to clarify, the owners were rude and dismissive, with no clear communication except for the repeated payment attempts. Booking.com confirmed that they had no right to charge us post-checkout. This unfortunate experience left a sour note on our trip, and we won’t be returning. Good hosts make all the difference, and we’ve had wonderful experiences elsewhere in the past.

“Overall a beautiful family home, with lots of space and good facilities. Dog friendly (which we really appreciate) and g”
+Lovely location. Really peaceful. Plenty of parking. Lovely garden and patio area. Inside was spacious and comfortable. We were three adults and a small dog and had plenty of room to move about and separate double bedrooms. Plenty of kitchen equipment and instructions on how to use, which was a nice touch. Milk in the fridge on arrival which was great. There is also a really well stocked convenience store nearby. Location of nearest beach was great. I also saw my first red squirrel in the garden which was fantastic!
−If I was being really picky, the outside paintwork on the house was a little tired and there were lots of fallen rotting apples in the garden, so we had to watch the dog for wasps. Handbook says local restaurant 15 minute walk but more like 25-30 minutes and getting a cab proved impossible, even with several hours notice.

“Perfect property by the sea”
+Fantastic location - a stroll to the beach and then a lovely garden to spend the late afternoon in. Great kitchen to cook and dine in with friends
−Personal choice - my bed mattress was very hard. Other rooms had soft mattresses. Some.people may like a hard bed - I don't and unfortunately none of.my friends do either

“Very relaxing and enjoyable stay - can’t wait to go back!”
+Stunning property, very comfortable and so close to Seagrove Bay which my dog absolutely loved.
−There was no hairdryer and could possibly have benefited from some coat hooks in the hallway.
