We have spent another excellent break over Christmas at Little Tern. We had an issue when we arrived, contacted the owner and within the hour the matter was resolved, so great customer service. We have stayed at Little Tern many times, so it's home from home for us. The cottage is lovely and warm, well equipped and comfy. It is ideally situated to visit places of interest in the area. It is a five minute walk to the lovely beach, a short stroll to the local pub and cafes. Highly recommend.

We stayed for 4 nights in December, the bungalow was clean and warm . there were many areas/items which were getting a bit tired and needed updating/ replacing . We liked the fenced garden area (great for our dogs) and the comfortable bed. and lounge.
