Fisherman’s Cottage
The cottage is sited on a steep and narrow street, a word of warning if you have a large car you will not be able to park your car at the front of the property as it is simply too tight and steep to parallel park. Lots of free parking nearby but first come first served and one evening we had to leave car parked at a free car park next to Chissel beach, which was a 15 minute walk to property.
The cottage was nice and cosy for our family but a few unpleasant details on arrival, firstly the clean prior to our visit was not up to standard for the price of the property, we had hairs on the shower mat and the shower did not drain very well, the floors were not cleaned properly so would recommend some indoor footwear. Also the plates and bowls were not cleaned after the previous guests.
The table also needed wiping as was sticky and 2 of the chairs were split so had to use cushions so we didn’t get nipped, there was bird poo on one of the inside chairs, which again we had scrape off so we could use the chair. So rather than a first evening of relaxing we were cleaning the property as we had no communication from the owner over the bank holiday weekend.
When we did get a response we were asked if we would like another clean but was too late as we had already cleaned; the shower blockage was repaired in the end (before our last evening) .We would suggest some form of air freshener or air purifier as the property has an old musky smell. Positives, nice area, nice patio, cosy.
