It was very comfortable and warm, particularly as it was January. The information about the surrounding area was very welcome and useful. We were on a bird watching/photography holiday and the cottage was ideally situated. The owners were very helpful before and during out stay.

I love how it looks small from outside, but there so much room inside and very well equipped and comfortable, was chilly when we arrived but the cottage heats up very quickly. Nice selection of games, books and dvds available. Had no issue at all with parking out the front either. I would say the stairs could be tricky for elderly or the less able as they are quite steep, but this was no problem for us. If I could give one small suggestion would be a pint of milk on arrival to go along with the tea and coffee provided, many places we have stayed in provide this and its a nice touch if you have travelled a long distance and want a cuppa as soon as you arrive

Everything there we needed. Lovely area, great for exploring especially the beautiful coastline. We had a small problem with the TV which was sorted out within a few hours so we were very pleased with the landlord's response. Excellent Rose and Crown pub just down the road serves excellent food.
