Absolutely great house. Perfect location only a short walk from beaches, rocky foreshores with rock pools, a lovely cafe and village shop and other places to eat or get takeaway a short drive away. House itself was amazing, plenty of space and different rooms for a family to spread out. Really comfortable beds. The rocking chairs and electric recliRead moreners were a bonus as was the second kitchen (i thought it was a typo, but there really is a second kitchen perfect for preparing a BBQ). Overall a wonderful stay for the whole family. We want to book for next year! Hide

Absolutely stunning place to stay very comfortable, Cleanliness let it down and the overgrown grass. We had a fuss with the code to enter after a long drive that was annoying but once in was great. Would stay there again purely on location alone. I would recommend but be prepared to clean things before use.

Excellent location to stay, easily get to the beach from the cottage. Cottage has everything you need it is well equipped, clean, comfortable, parking and a big enough garden to enjoy. Perfect for dogs with the flat below. The beach does not get overcrowded and when the tide is in there is a lovely path along the sea front.
