An absolutely fantastic location with wonderful walks from the door - sleep disturbed by the fog horn on two nights but it was still worth it! We thought it a bit mean to only provide one dishwasher tablet and one rubbish bin bag!
This was our second visit and we cannot speak too highly of this place. 4 out of 5 stars because: the hot water pressure in the walk in shower is good but the one for the bathroom is not. 25 mins to fill a bath or the need to tighten the nut on the bath shower to keep it working. Maybe that needs a bigger boiler one day.. But a downside to our stay, that could easily be fixed, was the poor attitude and hospitality shown by Rural Retreats by not providing enough basics. I don't pay serious money to have to drive on holiday to the nearest supermarket! And every AirBnB host knows that to only supply one WC roll per bathroom, 1cm of washing up liquid, fewer dishwasher tabs than our few days stay, no spare wiping cloths to wash the bath after use, no dustpan or brush to sweep up crumbs or sand, and no replacement yellow squeeze kitchen cloth (that had been used before -it smelt)...is just not done & shows inhospitality. Come on!
Excellent accommodation, spectacular location
Location stunning. Cottage comfortable and welcoming. FABULOUS stay. surprise visit for husband who was named after the Lighthouse. Its' light shone into the room as he was born. So Anthony was thrilled.
An absolute awesome, amazing place. For couples that need to escape the rat run this is THE place. Quiet and so refreshingly away from everyone. Just the noise of the sea and a few sea birds. This place is a perfect place to relax. My fiancé and I made sure we had enough food for the duration as the climb back up to the car is very steep and long so be aware. It’s so worth it. We are walkers and even we found the path back up was knackering. Don’t hesitate to stay at this place though. It’s a must! Oh and you have to take your rubbish back up too. Hmmm. But overall epic experience. Thankyou for a great clean and tidy place.
Lovely cottage, beautiful setting, stunning location. The most relaxing break I’ve ever been on. Booked again while we were there.
Brilliant! a wonderful place
Sally port cottage is such a fantastic place to stay with amazing views from every angle. The cottage is immaculate inside and out . We were so lucky to see two seals every day playing in the water what an amazing sight to see . We will be back .
Amazing location and an extremely clean and well appointed cottage make this destination a wonderful get away. We did have the fog horn go off which only added to the experience. The little viewing room was a great place to sit and watch the sea for hours. I would highly recommend. WiFi is ok but do not plan to use if for work as not quite strong enough for that.
Absolutely lovely! Very picturesque with a well equipped and homely cottage.
We stayed for three days in February when the storms were at their height. The property feels very safe (as you'd expect from a lighthouse cottage) and the challenging journey down to the lighthouse during the storm (via the very steep path which others have mentioned) just added to the atmosphere and the sense of getting away from normal life. In other words, we loved it. The property is furnished to an excellent standard. There is a viewing room separate to the cottage and even this has a heater and furniture so is a great place to eat your breakfast and watch the sea. The fog horn sounded quite frequently while we were there but it's really not loud or annoying enough to case a disturbance when you're inside the cottage. The best advice is to wear sensible shoes to and from the property and to only take what you really need down that access path on arrival (because taking it back to your car on the day you leave is going to be a proper workout!). Comfortable beds and furniture, warm, everything we needed. Highly recommended.
Gorgeous place. Loved being there during Storm Ciara! Welcome hamper fantastic. The observatory room is wonderful just to sit in and relax
Outstanding situation. Privilege to stay in such a place. Warm, very comfortable, well furnished.
An excellent location, welcoming basket of provisions and well appointed property but with a few problems (many light bulbs not working and a very unsafe door handle, that could result in being trapped inside the bedroom!) that were reported on the Monday morning. In addition to those issues the following was not reported:- Kitchen - there was no drying up cloth (only a hand towel), no scourer/washing up brush, no Cif/surface/hob cleaner; Information/Instructions are VERY out of date (partly following a change of layout?) e.g. there's no access to the hall area where the heating can be adjusted.Needs a total update! Also the pre-joining information referred to the parking in the National Trust car park and that there would be something left in the cottage to display on the parked car (there was not!) - luckily, as members, we had our own valid NT sticker. All in all though a very enjoyable time and worth 5* rating had it not been for so many little issues that have been overlooked.
Thank you for your feedback. I am so sorry for the issues that you encountered and I can confirm that all have now been sorted. There is a new information folder with completely updated information.
Great location, remote and quiet. Accommodation lovely and generally very clean except the washing machine full of filthy towels!
We are delighted that you loved Sally Port - our sincere apologies that the housekeeper left the towels in the washing machine by mistake.
The location is exceptional. A unique property. The quality of the accommodation is excellent. The cottage is warm and cosy with every convenience. The coastal walks are amazing and the whole experience was awesome especially when storm Brendon hit! We didn’t want to leave.
The cottage was very comfortable and eqiuped to a very high standard. Being advised of the steep path was very appropriate as was the warning of the fog horn. The welcome pack was outstanding and much appriciated including the flowers such a nice touch. The viewing room was a particular favourite with the outstanding views of the sea in most moods. I would say the only downside was the amount of flies encountered. Many photos taken and lovely memories to be kept
Sally Port Cottage is beautiful, in a fantastic location with wonderful views. The facilities, decor and equipment are high quality, and we had a wonderful stay. The path to the cottage is very steep, but as a fairly unfit non-hiker couple we managed fine, with a bit of heavy breathing. It really shouldn’t put people off! The problems we had were minor but frustrating, and I was annoyed at the lack of response from rural retreats. When we arrived we found the corkscrew broken and jagged, and more importantly the hairdryer was missing. I phoned rural retreats to report this (no hairdryer in October has quite an impact on a girl ! ) The lady I spoke to was a bit snotty with me, apparently I should have contacted “my housekeeper”. I explained that there is no number for a housekeeper and she saud she would pass the message on. So, I continued my holiday with ragamuffin hair, opening bottles with my teeth. There is a fly problem there which started in week 2 and I’m sure is a temporary thing. Don’t let my minor grumbles put you off , it’s a magical place, the welcome pack is extraordinarily good, views amazing and it is sooo comfy
I am pleased that you had a wonderful stay at Sally Port however I am so sorry that you feel you had a poor response to the problems you encountered. My sincere apologies and I will of course look into this.
The cottage is beautifully decorated and to a high standard with a well equipped kitchen. It was very clean throughout and the arrival hamper was excellent. The path to the cottage is steep (especially going back to the car park!) and lightly packed wheeled luggage is advisable. The views are wonderful and there is a lovely little cove just a short walk along the coast path, which you have to scramble down to reach. Take care on the roads - there are a few sections that are single track and with blind corners and no passing places.
