Comfortable beds and a really cute welcome basket left out on our arrival. The house is well loved and Its a stones throw away from the beach. We loved our stay. Laura was amazing in any additional information needed and quick to respond.

This made managing a large group of people at meal times so much more easier. There is something for everyone to do. It is very conveniently located near shops and the beach. Would book this cottage again.
