A lovely and comfortable end terrace cottage with wonderful views. Peaceful and with a cut through to the coastal path.

An ideally situated and well adapted cottage providing all that is required for an enjoyable holiday. Stunning coastal views from a first floor seating / dining area and balcony which is the real jewel of this property. The general enjoyment of the property is currently somewhat spoilt by a poor standard of cleaning.

Mrs Plant
A lovely cottage with amazing views on 3 sides. Very comfortable and homely. Would definitely recommend. Dog owners just be aware that there is no fence between the 2 gardens (the large lawned area is divided in two) so dogs can wander over. But it wouldn’t put me off from staying again.
