The cottage is repeatedly described as comfortable and cosy, with a warm bed and sufficient heating. However, a few guests mentioned that the space is quite small, which slightly impacts the comfort score.

Road not too close with little traffic. Lovely area to sit outside and facing the sun all day. Idyllic setting. Near beaches and lovely places to visit

Brilliant as we had no time to shop and were exhausted. A perfect start to the holiday once we arrived. The owners were lovely. The place is very comfortable and we slept so well. The area is lovely and so are the local people. We would most certainly recommend people visit here. We left completely rested at the end of our holiday and were sad to leave. If we are in the area again we would love to go back.
