Dartside is stylishly traditional yet contemporary. The living room’s Pippin rose walls frame plush sofas and a wood burner. In the kitchen - an Aga and American-style fridge-freezer. The kingsize bedroom has a rolltop bath; the second has two singles. Sublime views from both gardens year-round. Front decking overlooks the cottages to the harbour, with an anteroom and daybed behind large window doors. To the rear, sweeping water views from the terrace and lawn. There’s also a shower room and WC.

Cleanliness not good

As is nearly always the case with rental cottages, the cleanliness was not good . The oven and Aga were very dirty and the steps outside the back door obviously had not been swept for weeks. However, the main problem was that the heating had been turned off and the cottage was quite cold - 14 degrees in the morning. There was a tiny portable heater which, unfortunately, made little or no difference.
The cottage is in a wonderful location and is very well equipped. The garden has stunning views and there is parking at the property so it’s a real shame that a few small things spoil an otherwise lovely property.

We loved Dartside cottage. It was so beautiful. The garden was stunning but sadly we didn't have good weather to enjoy it. The interiors were fabulous. It has been decorated and refurbished to a very high standard. All the details were beautiful.
We found there were lots of kitchen items provided which the agency were not aware of. We even had logs provided which the agency didn't realise.
The standard of cleaning could be improved I felt as it did not match the standard of the property. I found the kitchen shelves dirty and the sofa had hair on and crumbs.
We contacted the agency with questions and received vague answers. The instructions folder and area information were all hidden in a cupboard which I found eventually.
We had to sleep in separate beds as the kingsize bed wasn't long enough for my partner due to the footboard.
It was lovely to be able to park outside. We really enjoyed staying at Dartside but feel some small improvements could be made to the details.

The outside areas were very dirty and obviously hadn’t been brushed or cleaned at all as was the BBQ

The BBQ was so dirty it was unusable. The Aga was also very dirty . Although there were only 2 of us staying so it didn’t matter but the second bedroom had nowhere to hang or lay clothes.
