It was very clean and well equipped. Milk & eggs provided on arrival and some lovely cakes. Only a couple of really minor things to raise was that the inside waste bin was not in a practical place and had to be moved every time to access the freezer and there was no dishwasher. Neither impacted the stay at all, which was wonderful. It was in a very peaceful location and with the sea/beach a 20 minute walk away and a pub that does lovely food a 2 minute walk away it was ideal. I would definitely recommend this cottage to friends and family!

Everything in the kitchen you could possibly need, our dogs were made very welcome. Very comfortable beds, up to date information, spotlessly clean, lovely cosy cottage. The pub at the end of the road served great food. Weather wasnât great but enjoyed walks along the beach when we could.Highly recommended and will return.
