Jacobs Cottage

Fantastic location

The location is obviously what sells this property. It's a few steps to the Platt and most of the restaurants. A short walk to the main coastal walks and lovely to dip in out of the small alleyways that make up this village.

The host is a shocking communicator blaming the signal for not being able to get hold of me for 5 weeks! We booked the whole cottage but only one bed was made up; I was told that house-keeping would make the others but they didn't. I phoned and got hold of the host who directed me to the linen to make my own beds up. The shower is sooo small for the size of the property and the bathroom sink is tiny and splashes everywhere you run the tap. We couldn't get hot water for the whole time that we were there. There was a musty smell throughout and I'm sure there were fleas in the rugs in the kitchen as I got bitten on my ankles every time I went down down there. There wasn't anything to wash up with although there was 3 tea towels. The cupboards are full of mismatched items with no full dinner plates. The decor looked tired and faded, the settee covers need a good wash and freshen up. The blinds on the windows are very worn and they don't have the safety lock to tie them up; this property is not suitable for children at all. There are few mirrors and none that are full length and there's no hairdryer nor torches (despite saying there were in the lacking 'Welcome Folder')

Breakfast SC, top location 👍

Nothing it was all fine

Location

This property is in need of complete renovation. The carpets and furniture are old and not in good shape- all needs replacing. The house smells unclean and carpets are visibly dirty.

Great location and cute decor.

Plumbing issues and inadequate cleaning.

Location

1. The wifi didn't work at all. The old modem was useless. 2. All communication was blacked out, We could not use Sim cards or phones either. It was like a black hole. Wifi worked across the street at the pub though. 3. The TV couldn't connect to wifi so no Smart Tv even though the apps were on the TV 4. Normal TV reception was terrible too. 5. A coffee machine. Yeah! but no coffee. Not even a scoop 6. A washing machine. Fabulous! but no washing powder, not even a scoop. 7. Windows were dirty. 8. Hand rails on narrow steep stairs would be safer. 9. Some clearer instructions to use cooker or hot water. Never did find the 'Airing cupboard on the right' 10. We got parking details upon arrival but not from a message when we asked prior to arriving. More useful to know especially since driving and parking are so difficult. 11. Communication was limited to the details to access the key. 12. Perhaps consider a new front door and/or lock.

Cottage was very nice, a little TLC needed in some.places, light bulb on stairs gone and other flickering, not enough toilet roll and no scissors in the kitchen

The location was super central, right in the hustle and bustle of the village. I had my cup or morning tea on the sea front a stones throw from the cottage. Pub, cafes, 15 seconds walk Beautiful cosy cottage, log burner, range, quaint kitchen. Perfect for a couple's romantic getaway, a comfy stop if you're walking the coastal path or a small family.

Very small bathroom with shower only if you're sharing Heating isn't fantastic in the winter Cars and tourists coming down Fore Street can be a bit constant if you're in the cottage. The road is super tight so they come right up to the house. I didn't mind but it may bother some people so worth mentioning. Very steep stairs - again okay for me but worth noting not good for some.
