Clouston Cottage

The pool area and beds were comfortable!

The salt water pool was incredible - the weather was just warm enough for us to enjoy it! Plenty of bedding provided so also a great stay for a family! There’s a pod coffee machine included which is a luxury (you should include this in your advert as I don’t recall seeing this mentioned), kitchen is setup with most of what you need for an enjoyable stay.

On first impression, the house wasn’t super clean. Surfaces not properly wiped down, dead bugs/spiders (in kitchen and bedrooms), animal hair on coach (unfortunately this made me sneeze due to allergies every time I sat on the couch), used coffee pod left in machine, ashtray on outdoor table with a cigarette butt in it, old dog poos from previous animal on grass. The house is advertised with having pool towels. Unfortunately all we could find were bath towels in the linen cupboard. There were plenty of bath towels provided however no washers or hand towels. The one hand towel was black and again was covered in animal hair. The house is also advertised as having pool toys - we could only find toys left out in the sun so they were all brittle and cracked, the pool noodles were all broken into pieces. There were no instructions for the pool - suggest maybe adding some basic instructions to your guest stay booklet to ensure proper use and maybe remove pool toys and towels from being included. The dishwasher required some maintenance - the door latch doesn’t close properly which means it’s a bit temperamental turning on.

Super clean Easy to get there

There was no cleaning facilities no mop vaccum hardly works

Lovely home, plenty of extras (eg coffee machine), very helpful owner

Door access is overly complicated! Better description of how to use should also have 'how to get out' since it took some trial and error...
