What guests are saying
Having just spent 2 weeks at stablewood coastal cottages, overall location was lovely at budle bay however several issues were encountered during our stay- family of 4 and 2 small dogs, issue number 1 was the cleanliness of the cottage itself, very dissapointing and hasn't had a proper clean in what I would say a good 6 months the lingering smell of previous dogs and dust, when trying to use the hover the bag in the hover had clearly not been changed for months so couldn't pick anthing up and made things worse, issue number 2 as advised on the sheet of items in the cottage you could rent out a hot tub for an additional charge, we did this and however the maintenance team were good and came and set it up straight away we had problem after problem with it, a slow puncture that was clearly already there so the hot tub kept deflating, we had a constant error message even after the first use of the hot tub so after 2 weeks it was more trouble than it was worth at a cost of £180.
Issue number 3 was the applewood inn that offers a discount if you go and eat there, I would advise you AVOID at all costs the service was terrible!! no one around the majority of the time, the food took over an hour to arrive and once it did arrive it was like slop/dog food and we refused to eat any of the meals and left. There is massive improvements needed to this place to make it viable for a pleasant stay.
Very nice area and so close to the Beach, our Dog just loved it!
Downsides: The Cottage was very cold, there are inefficient Electric Heaters that struggle to keep the place warm, although there was the use of a Wood Burner, after the initial setting the Fire it failed to draw enough air to keep it alight! The Electric Shower was totally inadequate, next to no pressure available! There were no Emergency Contact/Information/Leaflets available, one of us required Medical Care and the First Aid Kit was basically empty!
This cottage and particularly the location is fantastic!
The advertising and images do not do it justice and should be updated. I will recommend these cottages to my friends and family without hesitation. The mattress in the double room really does need changing (I notice this has been mentioned previously in other reviews). Apart from that, everything was excellent.
