Nice quiet place to stay this was our second visit handy for touring surroundings area close to a disused railway for walking or cycling. Cottage clean and comfortable with good outdoor space and gas barbecues and picnic tables around the site, plus a good heated inside pool.

I stayed at Captain Cook's Haven Endeavour No. 18, and I want to share some important information: 1. No Wi-Fi: Despite what the website states, the signal is extremely weak, and mobile reception is practically non-existent. 2. Limited Kitchen: The small kitchenette has a fridge that can only hold beverages. 3. Lack of basic Amenities:There is no hairdryer provided. 4. Missing Essentials:The place is lacking in basic necessities such as toilet paper, towels, rubbish bags, and dish soap. 5. Heater Issues:The heater only operates for half an hour; you must turn it on manually each time. 6. Outdated Television: The TV is a small, old 21-inch model. 7. The pictures displayed on the website do not accurately represent the actual environment!!! Beware of these issues before your stay!!!
