Wow what a gem of a place, we loved our week long stay, cottage is very well equipped, spotless clean, very nice welcome pack on arrival (thankyou Catherine) loved the full length bifolding bedroom windows so you could hear the birds and the running water, we luckily had some nice weather so after very long walks on the beaches we sat on the decking relaxing. There's a shop over the road, 3 pubs close by (2 are dog friendly) Cafe rite on the beach side, if you have children there's a big play area very close. We will be back.
