Courtenay Cottage

We had a fantastic 2 weeks in this lovely cottage. The weather was amazing which meant the view from the balcony was priceless ! Lovely comfortable bed and sofas. Bathrooms perfect - home from home with all modern conveniences you could want ! Kitchen a bit shabby and dated - could just do with some new door front on cabinets to transform it but apart from that W/M and D/W great quality. Was great having a tumble dryer in the basement too. Just had to buy a fish slice for the kitchen which we left. It was nice to be left Dish cloths, tea towels, D/W tablets, scourers and cleaning products (including washing up liquid) The location is SO perfect - right in the main high street. The 3 flights of steep steps kept me fit but the view at the top made it all worthwhile Only couple of niggles, the monobloc taps in the kitchen and the bathroom need tightening from under the basins as they swivel round every time you use them. TV in living room pixilated continuously on our second week, possibly Weather related but I doubt it. The parking is non existent unless you want to pay £8 a day for the main car park in the town We used the park and ride at the top of the town - £21 a week - unfortunately the bus wasn’t running so the walk up to it was a bit of a challenge! A good 30 mins - But the walk down was great ! I would definitely recommend this cottage

We really enjoyed our stay. There is an amazing view from top room but challenging stairs.

The house is in a perfect location. The night storage heaters took a little understanding, but everything else was great and the views from the top room and balcony were delightful!

On the plus side, the view is stunning, the beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is well equipped. However, we felt Courtenay Cottage was very tired and in need of a lot of TLC.

Really enjoyed our holiday. Stairs are quite steep and not ideal with a 14month old however we managed. Stair gates weren't put up or travel cot which would of been nice. Spent our first hour doing those things. Great location, great views and very comfortable and clean.

Kitchen needs updating. Cutlery very poor and needs replacing with new stainless steel . Pans good except for frying pan, badly scratched and needs binning ! Some mugs chipped and a mish mash of styles. Old crockery blue pattern 1970's style needs replacing ,glasses fine. Kitchen utensils lacking ( no spatula) Cellar bedroom needs updating , windows poor. Utility room, poor. All windows should be double glazed, very noisy at night. Proper banisters need to be fitted, especially since the stairs are steep.
