The bedrooms comprise of a king-size and a twin (zip/link super king), while the family bathroom has a deep-soaking bath tub, perfect for coming in from a walk and soaking your muscles.

.. Firstly the presentation and cleanliness was excellent. The property is a very spacious size with everything you could ever need during a time away, fully equipped and beyond! Log burner worked wonderfully, and the bath was divine. Great location for coastal towns North and South. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

It was immediately obvious that a lot of thought had gone into the needs of guests, and the owners should be commended for their attention to detail! However, it is highly unlikely that we shall be making a return visit due to the lack of parking available! We arrived on Friday evening, and parked in front of the property, and the car remained there over Saturday night. On the Sunday morning, our car was ticketed by a traffic enforcement officer who pointed out that the double yellow lines, which appeared to have been painted over and were barely, were still live and so we were obliged to pay the £35 fine! Finding a parking space close to the property was the cause of much frustration, given that we had my 80 year old mother-in-law with us! Thumbs up for the property, but thumbs firmly down for the lack of parking!

Our two big dogs fitted in easy en we made great walks form the cottage itself. A lot to see and do within a circle of 25 miles and beyond. The well equiped cottage was a very good base and filled all our expectations. Good firm bed, good kitchen, nice living space. Our suggestion is to replace the couch in the living space, the sitting is a bit soft.
