Very clean and comfortable. We have had a lovely family beach holiday here - perhaps just wish the kitchen was ever so slightly larger and a few more TV options (no iplayer/Netflix/Prime) available would be nice for those with young children to soothe in the evening! But really, a perfect cottage, and fantastic customer service from Sykes. A very happy family here, thank you.

The host also provided a parking permit for a local car park, which was very helpful. The cottage was accurately described on the website and had comfortable beds and a decent shower, both often sadly lacking in some holiday rentals. Overall, it was a great place to stay and well-equipped for a holiday.
