Mrs D
Beautiful, clean, spacious and lovely cottage just 20mins walk from the beach, close to convenience shop and driving to other areas. Could easily fit two cars outside. Peaceful garden, miss having my morning cups of tea there. On clear nights it was perfect for star gazing. Everything you need is provided, just make sure you take the essentials youâll need including washing up liquid and powder. Would definitely recommend.
