We enjoyed our stay despite the weather not being great but still had a good time. Good location for coastal walks and places to visit close by. The accommodation was very comfortable and our dog Saffie was well catered for by the kind owners Dawn and Steve who kindly left some lovely goodies for us to enjoy 😊

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at the Den, it was very well equipped, very clean and comfortable, the shower was particularly nice and the bed very comfortable. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. I thoroughly recommend this cottage .
