Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Home from Home feel with all the creature comforts you could wish for
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and Danielle was a fantastic host. The house was even better in person than the photos portrayed. The house had a home from home feel and everything you could possibly need. There were such lovely little touches like fresh bread, milk on arrival. Soft fluffy towels, toiletries, dressing gowns and even a sewing repair kit. The decor was exquisite and spotlessly clean. The morning of my check in, I received clear instructions on how to get there. Recommendations for local restaurants, pubs and shops with their distance from the house. I will definitely be returning in the future. Was a heavenly break away, thank you Danielle.

Fantastic character property
We absolutely loved our little family holiday here, helps that we had brilliant weather. The cottage was immaculate and a very high standard. A note to remember the rooms are interlinked, which was OK for us as we have smaller children. The bathroom is downstairs and a longer nighttime stagger if you have to get up in the night and beware of the stairs. Architecturally original but absolutely lethal if you aren't very careful. If you have any mobility issues, health issues with climbing steep ladders/stairs up or down, small children (no stair gates) then this property would not be advised. Note there is no parking at all and the property is on a one way Lane, we pulled up outside dumped the stuff and then found somewhere to park. OK out of season but would be more challenging in the summer months. Overstrand was so beautiful and architecturally interesting. Very steep climb down to the beach. Cliff cafe was nice for breakfast, cake and coffee.
