  • "Enjoyed a lovely stay here at the cottage."

    There are new carpets down in bedrooms and living room. Sofa is comfy and beds incredibly comfy, had the best nights sleep I've had in years! Fantastic location for those with dogs as the beach and a walk is just over the road. No problem with on road parking for us, there was always something not too far away. Hardware shop next door is fantastic. My few problems with the property's are as follows, lack of provisions in the kitchen, no chopping knife or peeler etc (we have left a peeler for everyone's excitement). The microwave although hilarious, is a bit concerning and we worried about disturbing the people upstairs with the noise. There were several light bulbs missing and one of the toilets was wobbly. Would these things stop us from coming again? No! But it's good to be forewarned. We will be back
