We didnt expect how tight it was and we have a small car, plus other people parking in the lane made parking there almost impossible. (Maybe better signs) The main bedroom bed needs a new mattress it was the worst mattress we have ever slept on. If these details were attended to we would definitely rebook.

From the moment we walked in we felt at home. I really liked the decor and the furnishings, at the same time modern and homely. The window in between the kitchen and the living room was especially charming, as were the stone walls. We didn't use the log burner (we are incompetent townies!) but I can imagine it makes it absolutely gorgeous when it's on. The positioning of the cottage also excellent both for the centre of the village and for walking the surrounding coast. I highly recommend this cottage! The only point I would highlight as a negative are the bins. The rubbish hadn't been collected for a while and so we had no room for our own rubbish and had to leave a separate bin bag on top of the wheelie bin. I understand if no one is in the cottage on bin day they might not be emptied, but having no where to put food waste is not ideal. The parking is also a bit tricky. Once I got used to it I was fine, but I would definitely emphasise it needs to be a small car as the easiest way to get in and out of the space is to reverse in round a corner between a wall and a house.

Had everything we needed for our stay (only suggestion would be to provide a couple of blankets).
