Lovely cottage, right on the coast, good choice of food and drink within a few metres. Kitchen was great you could cook anything you wanted in there if you choose to. Bedroom and Bathroom downstairs which remained really cool ( we were there in the recent heatwave ).Great view from upstairs side windows. Caretakers very friendly and helpful.

We had a wonderful weekend at Stoker's loft its honestly the best location, so close to the beach and estuary. We were lucky with the weather, which meant having the bedroom on the ground floor kept it cool and dark and easy to sleep. The upstairs has a wonderful view of the boats moored up along the beach and had everything you might want for a weekend away. The kitchen was even stocked with nice clean herbs and spices which we've not experienced in other holiday lets. Hopefully we'll get to visit again!
