“Having paid nearly £400, a reasonable price at face...”

written by julian Halls on 08/08/2007

Good Points

The accommodation was very clean and the facilities were of a high standard.

Bad Points
The property, despite being listed on the Farm and Country Cottages with photographs of the sea crashing against the rocks on the website was situated in the owners back garden. If that wasn't enough, it overlooked the rear concrete gardens of a nearby estate and the only items of interest were the washing lines, it had absolutely no aspect whatsoever. The car parking was approx 250 yards away. This was made almost clear on the website but by day 3, the fact that the website didn't elude to the less than desirable aspect, it became a major source of irritation. The so-called cottage consisted of a single bedsit style room, it was exceptionally bijou and the storage space was described as spacious but unless you are one of those people who go on holiday with one of everything, including underpants, there is no way this is a valid description. The toilet, whilst clean, had the smallest wash basin I had ever seen.

General Comments
Having paid nearly £400, a reasonable price at face value, for a small cottage with a nice view, one has to say that the property called Coastguard Cottage was clearly misleading in the description and the pictures on the web re-enforced the misdirection. As such, it was not good value. Very careful reading of the website revealed an estate agent's style prose, where what was not said was clearly the most important aspect to be noted. Complaints to the company resulted a polite reply, which assured us that they would investigate but I have heard nothing so far.
