But it seriously needs some work doing to it as there is damp in every room,peeling paint and dusty paint that rubs off if you touch it,the bedroom next to the toilet on the left has crumbling plaster behind the radiator that keeps appearing on the floor,patio doors in both bedrooms would benefit from new seals. Also a shower over the bath would be a great addition apart from the mention issues we had a great stay at beacon cottage.

The two local beaches are also good for dog walks along the costal paths which are right next to the cottage also,local amenities in the village is a small Morrisons,Chemist,Chippie,couple of pubs and an ice cream parlour. In the cottage full appliances and dvd,videos,games and lots of books so plenty to do on rough weather days.Nina was accessible throughout the day if you had any questions and was most helpful overall it was a great week and would highly recommend to others.
