Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Cottage Bed & Breakfast, a charming 17th-century cottage, is often praised for its spacious rooms and comfortable beds, providing a delightful stay just a short walk from the harbor's pubs and restaurants. Many guests highlight the excellent and varied breakfast, with choices made the day before. Some guests have occasionally noted minor cleanliness issues such as dust or smells.

unclean blinds unpleasant smell

i found the bed had an unpleasant smell, particularly the pillows. my husband and i ended up sleeping on top of the bed. it might be time for new pillows and bedding. i also noticed dust on the headboard and the bathroom blinds were not very clean. it's a shame because the hosts were lovely.

convenient location tasty breakfast friendly hosts unpleasant smell dusty headboard unclean blinds

i found the location pretty convenient, close to both the car park with the supplied pass and the harbour. breakfast was tasty, made with quality ingredients. the hosts, simon and maz, were friendly and cute .

There was a noticeable unpleasant smell on the bedding. specifically, the pillows had an off-putting odor. i also saw some dust on the headboard. The bathroom blinds seemed unclean.
