Nice cottage but like other people had commented lots of steps and quite hard to find house. I suppose it didnt help that there was scaffolding outside just down the step. Would have been nice to have a small welcome pack like tea, milk ect as we had driven 5 hrs and would have enjoyed a cuppa after our long journey. The weather was amazing and BriRead morexham was lovely. All in all had a lovely holiday Hide

Good location but little things let the cottage down. We were asked to strip the bedding before we left to give the cleaner more time for the turn around. Im sorry to say we didnt think the cottage was clean enough when we arrived. We had to wash the cutlery and doors were dirty.

We loved this property, so close to the harbour, the views from the top floor bedroom fantastic. Very good value for money considering the location. It really was home from home, with nothing to bring, everything provided. We had to cut our holiday short regretfully, but would definitely book again. Thank you for a lovely stay Paul & Gail Rimmer

Loved this cottage, so quaint, very well equipped. Steps up to the cottage and stairs inside were a challenge but we are in our 70s and managed ok. Worth it for the gorgeous view over the harbour.

To add to it if you have mobility issue please do not book. The view from the main bedroom is the main thing going for it. And if you don't sleep well be prepared to hear the segalls all night. I know it's a seaside and segalls come with the tertiary. But got god they do your head in. Regards

Great location and we had a lovely stay. A traditional fisherman's cottage which felt a bit like being in a lighthouse with only one floor having more than one room. People with mobility issues or very large people might struggle with the layout as the stairs are very narrow, twisty and low in places. Four floors so lots of ups and downs!

The cottage is tastfully furnished and in a good location with great views from the master bedroom. The stairs were a little challenging but typical of the local cottages.
