There was mould on the clean dishes airer placed on the sink drainer. Previous occupiers food debris in areas such as the oven, biscuits barrel and Fridge. There was a build up of dirty in the fridge which letâs face it, who wishes to have their fresh food contaminated with who knows what?! The shower room and bath evidently had been wiped quickly not deep cleaned so to speak ready for our arrival. We know this as for example; the shower had a build up of others hair and scum, black mould growing and I wouldnât use the extractor if you do decide to book as itâs filthy dirty! Yes our children were expected to use these facilities

The house had everything you could need for a coastal holiday. The house was spotlessly clean and tidy. More than enough space for everyone. We enjoyed the games and puzzles that were there for us to make use of. The outside space was a bonus too. The only minor point was that the track up to the turning for the house was quite uneven and rough to drive up. Having said that, it didn't take away from the lovely week we had there. We would definitely book again if we ever head back down that way.

Great for teh dog, and very pleased we discovered Ringstead beach, which was so easy to get to from the cottage, and was brilliant for the dog.
