We found this to be a very comfortable, cosy cottage with all necessary amenities for our short stay. It's within walking distance to the town and the sea front, and also to King George's playing field which was useful for early morning dog walks. The small front terrace garden is perfectly equipped for breakfast and tea al fresco, with fine views across towards the downs. The interior is clean, comfortable and peaceful.
