Pourquoi ne pas rester directement sur le front de mer?

Hi Teresa, Many thanks for your review, and delighted you enjoyed your "relaxing beach holiday". "Haste ye back" Gannet Cottage

Delighted you enjoyed your stay at Gannet Cottage and thank you for your feedback.

Hi Moira, The "scary" step out of the main bedroom reminds us that this is a genuine historic "Fisherman's Cottage" in a conservation area, as no planner would allow it nowadays in a new building. There is a fine line when modernising a property yet still aiming to retain some of its history and character, and the "quirky" step is one of the original features and a reminder of the cottage's history. "Lovely spot to enjoy peace and quiet" sums up the unique location. Thank you for your feedback and delighted you enjoyed your stay. Kind Regards Brian

Thank you for the feedback on our cottage and I am glad you enjoyed the location. We have been leasing Gannet Cottage for holiday lets for around 13 years now, continually updating it each year. The window frames are locally made wooden “sash and case” and it is a fine line keeping the character of the traditional fisherman’s cottage, which is in a conservation area, against totally modernising it with say aluminium windows – assuming planning allowed it. In our only phone conversation you were very enthusiastic about the cottage and the views, and were asking about the names of the various wading birds you had seen from the cottage windows. You mentioned your inability to open the windows, and I said that they do need a firm pull. I offered to come up the next morning, (approx. two hour round drive) and open them for you, but did point out that we had never had this request in all the years we had rented out the cottage. You said you would be out all of the next day, but insisted you wanted me to come and open all of the windows. Early the next morning I visited the cottage and opened the windows and also arranged for a joiner call out as the front door lock (new in 2018) had developed a fault. You emailed me when you returned to the cottage at 18.07 that same evening, thanking me for arranging the lock fix and saying it was lovely to have the windows open. At 20.52 that evening I received an email from you asking for the downstairs windows to be closed……. By law (and for safety) we are required to have smoke alarms fitted and I apologise if on this occasion they turned out to be too “sensitive”. Overall, I am obviously very disappointed you had “maintenance tasks” during your stay and trust this did not prevent you having a lovely week’s holiday.

Thank you for your comments and delighted you enjoyed your stay at Gannet Cottage.
