Harbour view is smart, well equipped and well positioned. It also has excellent central heating - important for us as we visited in December. It is tucked away, so you have all of the advantages of being almost on the harbour, but less noise.
Sadly though, the cottage is lacking in comfort. The mattresses are horrible - both of us could feel the springs clearly and it seemed if I lay one way a spring would get me in the hip, but if I moved a different spring would be digging me in the ribs. This was true for all the beds, and my husband had the same problem. In addition, in the twin room, the pillows were thin and hard. Not pleasant! And rather surprising given the thought paid to decoration and equipping both downstairs and in the master room. The fitted sheets in the twin room were too big for the bed, also. We also found the curtains in both rooms, again especially the twin, to be inadequate for blocking the very bright lights which shine on the harbour at night. Overall neither of us slept well the entire week.
Bare boards are all very well in the summer, not so great in the winter. There are no rugs anywhere and the cottage would be vastly improved by their addition. And of course the bare boards also mean noise - with one bedroom directly over the other anyone sleeping on the first floor is inevitably disturbed by those on the second.
Downstairs the cottage is open plan and smart. The sofas are ok - two, Queen Anne style - so long as you like to always sit upright - no lounging, they are too small. There is a garden, but this looked messy an ill kempt - not in a typical December way, it just looked as if it hadnt been touched for a long time, whereas the neighbouring gardens were tidy and clearly regularly attended.
As I said this is a smart warm cottage, in a good position, but we would not recommend it unless you are impervious to bed springs and noisy floorboards!
