Mr Elders
We were pleased with the cottage , but a couple of issues caused difficulties for us . 1. The stairs are very steep for oldies like us . This should be stated in the description. 2. The toilets are on the third and fourth floors . Not ideal for anyone , let alone septaginarians.

Great location and loads of space. Nice to have the garden area. Kitchen well stocked with all the equipment you could need. Pubs and sea close by and buses easy to get to for travel.
