Location lovely, but the house really does need some tlc and someone to look at it through the eyes of visitors. (E.g. entrance just not welcoming, wifi signal not strong enough to use the smart tv etc).

Good WiFi, Good TV. Wonderful Garden, climb down to more or less private beach. Shop for milk bread papers etc short walk. Girls in office very helpful. Boat hire easy.

Lovely cottage in great location, with lots of space for 6 people. Great outlook and access to the beach when low tide. We would definitely book again.

We had a lovely stay in Stepaside, comfortable beds and great views. However, the washing machine and oven need some minor repairs and the sofas upstairs we feel need replacing-they have clearly done many years service!

We had the most amazing Christmas there. Kitchen so well equipped and the kitchen/lounge the most amazing social space with a fantastic view and the sound of lapping water.

We really enjoyed our stay at Stepaside Cottage. It had a cracking view over the water which we enjoyed from the courtyard. It was well equipped & secure. A little tricky to access the cottage to unpack due to the super narrow road, which made it a stressful arrival, but Caffa Mills car park is only a 5 minute walk away so easy to carry our things Read moreback to our parked car. The kitchen area was a very sociable space for us three couples, & we werent on top of one another. We were vety central so within very easy walking distance of pubs, restaurants & shops. Hide

Instructions for finding the property were poor. You need to show picture of front door or you miss it. Showing a picture of the back of the property is useless. The access and outside areas were dirty with rubbish and a dead seagull outside of gate, which had been there for some time. The front door wouldnt open, the back gate fell off onto my dauRead moreghter, the toilet seat slid to one side every time you sat on it, toilet roll holder broken, towel rail rusty, but apart from that it was lovely!
