The interior of this cottage is very poor. There is a large damp patch on the wall as you enter, there is another on the ceiling above the landing upstairs where I assume the roof is leaking. Most of the windows have black mould around them & a number of the double glazed units have blown with condensation within them. This makes it difficult to seRead moree out in places. The skirting boards are dirty with black mould in places & the paint chipped off as well. On a more positive note the location is good. Hide

Could be great but needs alot of TLC to make it upto the standard of other equally priced accommodation in Mortehoe. King-size bed was great, singles not to much. Cordening off the garden would be better for each property as dogs need an enclosed garden, not to be shared. Damp on the walls, don't offer games which have missing pieces, look at theRead more kitchen utensils as they were sparse. Hide

Great location, close to many lovely walks. Good pubs nearby and Miss Feas bistro worth a visit. Everything you need for a comfortable stay , no need to bring washing up and washing essentials, thoughtfully provided. Bed very comfortable and furnishings good quality.

This very cosy cottage has a great location in Mortehoe great for up to 4 people. The garden is a pretty English garden feel and has great views over the ocean at the top of the garden sometimes giving the most beautiful sunsets. Just loved it. Second visit here for me

This cottage is in a lovely location but needs renovation, ceiling paper in kitchen peeling away from where there as been a leak, numerous damp patches, black mould in bathroom also needs a very deep clean, we felt the property was not in an acceptable condition for price!!

Absolutely loved our stay here. Home from home in the most stunning location. Beautiful view and sunsets from the garden. Mortehoe is such a friendly beautiful village. Sri Lankan curry on barricane beach watching the sunset is a must.
