Mrs Dalby
Location is excellent, the harbour, pubs, restaurants and all the local amenities are 2 minutes walk. Cottage provides excellent access to the beaches. Kitchen is well stocked, fridge and freezer are sizable so plenty of storage. There a utility room and a separate hallway for keeping all outdoor gear. There are two lounges which are spacious and comfortable (TVs in both). The en-suite facilities are good, there is a welcome pack of toiletries enough for a few days. The parking is to the side of the property and we fitted two cars. You can book boat trips from the harbour 2 mins away. We ate a most local places and the food was good and were dog friendly.
Mr Southorn
The cottage is ideally located and the two parking spaces are invaluable. The accommodation is ideal for a number of guests and their dogs. The equipment provided is comprehensive.
Mr Clark
The accommodation is 1st class, with a brilliant location. The communal sitting areas and dining space work really well.
