  First impressions of the property when we arrived were not good.

  The driveway and path up to the front door were overgrown with weeds/plants that hadn't been cut back for weeks, so it made it difficult getting out of the car and unpacking. The back lawn hadn't been cut for a long time as it must have been around 6 inches high which isn't ideal when you have to find dogs mess to pick up. Emailed Sykes and the 'property management' were contacted so the lawn was cut on our penultimate day of the one week stay. I had to pull up weeds that had been left there in the gravel path outside the back door down to the lawn and these were 3-4ft high. Inside the property, all cleaned to a good standard apart from harvest spiders in the corners of all rooms - not acceptable especially if you had a fear of spiders. Surprised this hadn't been sorted giving the extra cleaning time between check out at 10am and next guests at 5pm. There were no toilet rolls left anywhere, just half used rolls in both toilets - never had to buy toilet rolls where we have stayed before. Luckily brought our own hand wash but still had to buy some soap for the two other sinks, also brought kitchen rolls as again nothing. We weren't told about building work next door and had to retreat indoors, closing the lounge windows on a hot afternoon when we wanted to sit outside with a cup of tea. The concrete cutting was so loud with dust blowing over the fence, and a generator starting up - not what you need when you are on holiday. We put the rubbish bag out on the correct day as instructed on the fridge door note, and it wasn't taken. The previous fortnightly collection had also not taken place as another guest had also left a note after leaving rubbish out. So there were terrible smelling bags of rubbish left in the dustbin for weeks, very unhygienic. Just not good value for money when we stayed the second week in Sept and paid £1082 for a couple and 2 dogs. The owners really need to request the routine tasks are carried out with attention to detail to make this accommodation a nicer place to stay. We have stayed at so many lovely properties and felt very disappointed that our expectations were let down with Thorncroft.

  The cottage is in a good location easy walking distance from the harbour, uphill on the way back.

  Sea views from upstairs but unfortunately looks out on a blank white wall from the lounge. The lounge is dark from this wall and overgrown tree/bushes at the side. Plenty of space inside for 3 adults but the furniture needs updating. Corner sofa is very uncomfortable, there is plenty of space to replace with two three seater sofas which would be more comfortable and make the space more welcoming. The TV needs replacing…..it is the smallest screen I have seen for a long time, in a large room. The double bed downstairs is old and uncomfortable, springs squeak, and one side of the mattress falls away. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of space for your own food. Worktops are limited so it isn’t easy to cook/dish up food but we managed. Plenty of crockery and glasses. Upstairs there is no wardrobe in the twin bedroom, just 4 hooks and 3 coathangers. In fact there is a real shortage of coathangers in all three bedrooms. The bed in the main bedroom is very comfortable. Overall the furniture is mostly old and dated and gives off a 1950’s vibe. It could do with some updating.

  We had no internet when we arrived and reported it to the maintenance company.

  They were very efficient and bent over backwards to sort the problem for us. It was up and running after two days and the owner compensated us for the loss. Our only grumble was the parking space. The nature of the house meant that there was no alternative. We have a Nissen Qashqai which just fitted in the space. My husband had stroke a few months ago and has difficulty getting in and out of the car. The tight space meant that you couldn't open the doors fully and he struggled. Not sure how people manage with a bigger car or with two cars as we couldn't use the garage as the key didn't fit. I gave a lower mark for comfort only because the beds, especially the single one, was VERY hard although I appreciate that this is personal preference. All in all we had a lovely stay and the beautiful weather was an added bonus. Thank you.

  Lovely place.

  Great location. It has a real home from home feel. Even though there were only 2 of us and a dog, it could easily cater spaciously for 6 people. Lots of space. Very well equipped - probably more than one would expect of a rental home. Location is perfect being 200m from the beach, the pubs, the shop, the town centre and about 30 metres from the coastal path. As per the whole area, you will be walking up and down hills so make sure you are ok with that. The house is super clean. It is clear on the listing, but there is only room for one car on the drive (our Range Rover fitted), and room for one small car in the garage so if you come in more than one car, you may have to park a car somewhere else for the duration (there is no parking on the road close by). A lovely holiday in a beautiful house! Thank you!

  Holiday home in great location.

  The cottage had everything we needed and kitchen equipment good quality and clean.Cottage was very clean and comfortable. It has obviously recently been decorated and renovated. We would definitely recommend staying here. A couple of very minor negatives, the bed in the main bedroom was uncomfortable as it sloped on one side, a king size in a bedroom that size would be perfect., The dining room table had a very rocky top, the extractor fan in the kitchen was very noisy during the night- not sure how to turn it off. A radio would be nice for the kitchen. Apart from the bed, these were minor things that didn’t spoil our stay at all.
