We loved the cottage although it left a few things to be desired.
On our first night, we ended up sleeping on the sofa in the living room because the smoke detector in the bedroom kept screeching, even after we removed the battery. Someone from maintenance came the next morning and replaced the battery but it continued to beep so we disconnected it. Then others started beeping so we disconnected all of them. I guess it was the weekend the batteries were due to be replaced.
On the day we arrived, the entire yard was overgrown and covered in weeds, we had to ask when it could be mowed. Thankfully, someone came and did it the next morning while we were out.
Some things this place lacks…. A pizza cutter, barbecue tools, briquettes and starter fluid for the bbq, a curtain or blinds over the exterior French door in the bedroom. The drains in both sinks and bathtubs were slow/clogged and the tub stopper didn’t fully work. I had to keep the water running while I had a bath to keep it full enough.
And the ants in the kitchen were rather disturbing.
With all of that said, we’d still consider booking it again as long as some of those issues were addressed and fixed. We enjoyed the character of the home, the storage space, the view from the deck, and the proximity to drive-to beaches, small shops and Seabrook. And we did receive partial reimbursement for our sleepless first night.
