“A traditional family run hotel with amazing views of the cove”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I have to admit I have been here several times but never got round to writing a review. This hotel is a traditional hotel and well run by the staff. Some of the staff are quite young but they are well trained.

The hotel is perched on the top of the cove so if you stay here you *must* get a room with a view as the view is gorgeous. We stayed in one of the rooms with a balcony and a sea view.

The car park is pretty tight as you would expect due to the hotels position but you can reserve a space if you need to you can just ask. There is also an overspill car park higher up.

Check in was efficient and friendly and we were offered help with our case. The room was spotlessly clean, although there was some wear and tear starting to show with the decoration. The decoration is traditional rather than modern with a king size bed, big wardrobe, flat screen TV, small table and chairs.

The food we had for dinner was nice and the dessert trolley is great! For breakfast its a hot and cold buffet style but you can order eggs for fresh and a few other bits and pieces that they cook to order.

As well as strolling on the beach you and get along the coast paths quite easily. You must then reward your self with a cream tea on your return!

Room Tip: Treat yourself to a balcony room with a sea view

Excellent postion just a short walk down to a lovely little bay with a pub and a few little shops.The
Cottage Hotel is very friendly staff cannot do enough for you. The evening meals are a mini banquet so do not over indulge at lunch! We will be visting again in 2012

Room Tip: Go for the deluxe balcony rooms

“Brilliant!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

We have just spent 4 days at The Cottage, which included New Year's Eve. The whole experience was fantastic and the staff all worked incredibly hard to make it so.The food was superb, especially the dinner on New Year's Eve which was six courses. There were party favours on every table and the atmosphere was brilliant. The next day there was a Brunch which must have offered just about everything that anyone could want: 4 types of fish (haddock, kippers, scampi and smoked salmon with scrambled eggs), cereals, fruits, yoghurts, eggs cooked any way one desired, toast, croissant, juices and the usual ingredients of a full English breakfast. Most importantly there was a constant flow of Bucks Fizz, with staff coming round offering top ups.There was also cream tea layed on on New Year's Day which consisted of the usual scrummy scones, clotted cream and jam, but also Christmas cake, and date and walnut cake. Nobody could say they didn't get enough to eat or that it wasn't good value. The rooms was warm, clean, offered a lovely view and was quiet, even though there was a dog next door we never heard it.
Although we have stayed at The Cottage several times so obviously love it, I do not understand how anyone can be as critical as some reviews on here. Admittedly the average age is probably 55 but I can't see why this should be a problem. If you want young people around go to a more lively resort. If you want a modern hotel go to a Hilton or Holiday Inn. The Cottage is unique, and this along with the friendliness of the staff, the location and the value for money is why we love it and return as often as we can.
The Ireland family have a winning formula and the hotel is nearly always full which says a lot in my opinion. Who cares what the average age is?
Thank you to everyone at The Cottage who gave us such a wonderful holiday.
