Bargain off season break. Great location close to beach & quick walk to shops.Cottage is warm & clean and much bigger than photos suggest, so feels very spacious. Good self catering facilities.For us, sleep quality was the negative, with bedrooms as big as they are you could easily fit bigger beds. Beds are poor quality standard double with added mattress toppers which makes them very soft, you can feel every movement.Pillows are very uncomfortable , so bring your own if you are fussy about pillows! Lastly bedding is very synthetic - cover-less quilts, again not to our liking..
