“The main problem I experienced was that I was unable to open the windows.”
As I was staying during a heatwave, this was unacceptable. The bed and the duvet are not very comfortable. The position is good and the downstairs accommodation is very pleasant.

We are sorry to read you had a less than perfect stay. In a record breaking heatwave, even with all these access points open, the accommodation would remain warm if there were no breeze. In other seasons this heat retention is what makes the cottage so nice and snug.
Many windows on both floors do open. The lifting type windows upstairs do all open, and are of an older design in which they 'jam' in the frames when open (rather than having a sash). This info can be added to the house details if it's not clear. Downstairs one of two the main sitting room windows opens (lifts) and the the 'stable door' style front door can have the top half open on it own (to allow fresh air in but keeping a dog of child inside) or be opened fully. In the kitchen is the back door opening onto a private alleyway and two lifting / opening ceiling domes which can be wound open to provide light and air.
I hope you were able to take advantage of the close proximity to the beach and high street (ice cream shop , chip shops and all the other retail, art and restaurant outlets) and the walks by the riverside or beach.
