We have loved every minute and feel rested up in this perfect seaside cottage for 2. Thanks for the thoughtful welcome treats. Meg our Jack Russell loved the treats too and she would love to know where she can get a comfy dog bed like that from. Thank you Iâm sure we will return again

Secluded and quiet, which was a pleasant surprise, being so close to the centre. It had everything we needed. The village centre had it all, butcher, bakery, fruit and veg shop and several drinking establishments. The hosepipe was a bonus as our dog wouldnât stay out of the sea. A small outdoor drinks table would have been a nice to have, as we sat outside quite often- waiting for the dog to dry off. We would definitely stay here again.

There is everything you could need and the bed/sofa is very comfortable. We had been left a lovely welcome basket, with bread, an elderflower drink, apples and popcorn, with milk in the fridge. The house is opposite a Co-op so handy for shopping and the beach is a shirt drive away. Fully recommend
