Devon Self Catering cottage, Blue Harbour Cottage, Torquay, sleeps 3

Fab Location but cottage tNeeds Updating
The location is fab within walking distance of the harbour & all local amenities, but far enough away to be quiet. The beds are also so so comfy for a great nights sleep. However the cottage could really do with a refurb, as the pictures are incredibly misleading. The inside needs some TLC the sofa in the lounge was incredibly uncomfortable & has a random wooden bit in the middle that juts up which we all hurt ourselves on. my son ended up with a particularly nasty bruise on his shin. The room could also do with coat of paint as there are dirty marks all over the walls The bathroom whilst clean, when trying to have a shower the shower. curtain constantly sticks to you...needs a shower door The kitchen....the utensil draw only opens part way as it hits the handle of another cupboard. The draining board wow just wow it's basically a piece of cobbled pavement stuck to the side..,it doesn?t drain water just floods round the side & behind it causing a musty damp smell & is so small It's holds about 4 small plates & some cutlery. Also parking in the welcome pack it still states you can buy a weekly permit for the local car park...you can?t you can only get annual ones. We downloaded an app in the end & paid on a daily basis averaged about ?9,70 per day. The garden is not private & guests for the neighbouring cottage have to walk through your terrace to get to their front door... Overall the cottage was a base for the evening but lacked home comforts

Disappointing
Cottage overlooking a restaurant. cooking smells every evening. Dishes being clanked.No garden only shared courtyard.overgrown shrubs.tatty mouldy garden benches. Not suitable for people with mobility issues.The most uncomfortable sofa EVER. Had wooden posts inside it.Every time you sat on it you would hurt yourself.No privacy what so ever with the next cottage .Left holiday 3 days early it was that unsuitable .
