The location is highly praised for its proximity to the village centre and beautiful beach, as well as the amazing views. The slight inconvenience of the parking situation slightly affects the score.
The property is generally seen as cosy and comfortable with comfortable beds, though some guests found the sofa uncomfortable and noted a smell of damp in the bedrooms.
The cottage is well-equipped with a kitchen, Netflix, and a coffee machine. However, some guests noted the lack of a hairdryer, tumble dryer, and the challenge of using the baby cot. Maintenance issues like dampness and the need for better shower facilities are noted.
While early guest book entries hint at welcome gifts, recent reviews do not mention them, suggesting they may not be a consistent offering. As such, guests should not expect welcome gifts as part of their stay.

The cottage is quite simply lovely - you have thought of everything & its to a very high standard - home from home - we struggled to put the baby cot up - we think that it must be new without my husband using his skills we would nto have managed to get it to clip into place & a tumble drier would complete it.
