    Great location, beautiful countryside and quiet (except for the rain on the velux windows in top rooms when it poured overnight on 2 nights!!). Cottage was unlocked upon arrival, as owner had stated, so easy to access. Comfortable, clean rooms, all ensuite and plenty of fridges, crockery and cutlery for 14. Large comfy sitting room and in basement, dining room. Big garden with outdoor furniture for outdoor eating if weather allows.

    This is a really lovely quaint little cottage, situated in a great location only a 15-20 minute walk down to the seafront/town centre - beautiful views out of the window, lovely private garden to relax in. Comfy beds, kitchen facilities are all good (oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, big fridge and drinks fridge) Clean bathroom, the shower is extremely powerful, but just make sure you get the temperature right before you get in as it can get quite hot!
