Extremely disappointing
Good location.
Extremely disappointing stay – significant ant infestation and poor standard of preparation
Unfortunately, our stay at 10A Coastguard Cottages was extremely disappointing.
We arrived after 5pm on the Sunday to find a significant ant infestation – not just the occasional ant, but hundreds of them. They were across the kitchen worktops and even in the sofa bed.
The ants got into our food and the problem was so bad that we had to remove our food from the property and keep it in our car. This is absolutely not what you expect when arriving at holiday accommodation.
There were also issues with the sofa bed. It was dirty when opened out, and the bottom sheet supplied was far too small and simply did not fit the fold-out bed. This added to our concerns about how thoroughly the property had been checked and prepared before our arrival.
More generally, we found the property had a rather tired, shabby-chic look and feel. Obviously this is subjective and may appeal to some people, but for us it did not feel particularly comfortable or inviting and was not what we had expected from the listing.
The infestation significantly affected our ability to use and enjoy the property and we ultimately cut our holiday short and left a day early.
What I find particularly difficult to understand is that we were subsequently told the property had been cleaned and prepared at approximately 10am on the same day we arrived and that the cleaner had seen no ants or signs of an infestation whatsoever. Given that we encountered hundreds of ants only a matter of hours later, I find that extremely difficult to reconcile with what we experienced.
We provided photographs and videos clearly showing the extent of the problem.
I was equally disappointed with the way the complaint was handled afterwards. The owner was not particularly forthcoming in recognising the extent to which the condition of the property had affected our holiday, and the compensation ultimately offered did not, in my view, a

Lovely location
No bedding COVERS on sofa bed which was most unhygienic
Hot tub no bubbles
Tv touch and go, gave up in the end
Showers were very temperamental, got scolded at one point
Needs a deep clean in places - sticky bannisters eg
Back garden not fenced from next door - dogs from both sides ran into each other aggressively which could of ended in a vets bill!
