Perfect size for 2 adults and toddler. Good size sitting room, practical kitchen with everything you need, nice downstairs cloakroom (with washing machine), very good bathroom with Velux window (you can hear the sea when open!), very comfortable bedrooms. Good size patio out back which becomes a sun spot - really relaxing. Really sleepy cottage, with excellent feel. A lot of thought has gone into providing guests with everything they need, so I would recommend, and we hope to stay again. If there was only one criticism; I'm sure guests would appreciate the standard milk, butter, bread on arrival. Final touch would make this property excellent.
