We had a lovely stay at the cottage. 2 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs. The inside and outdoor space was adequate. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for a nice stay.

Cottage was lovely, clean and had most things we needed. There was no washing powder, no dishwasher tablets and not enough loo roll to last the week. Considering how much money we had paid and that there were only 2 of us in a cottage designed for 4 people this did not come across as generous. Cottage was located within a drive of many tourist attractions and lovely beaches. Down side was that to give the dogs a decent walk we needed to put them in the car and drive as the area surrounding the cottage was thin pavements beside busy roads. The gate at the back of the house was difficult to open and close and there was also a gap under it which meant that the garden wasn't quite as secure as we would like for our 2 small dogs. We got around this by putting big rocks in the gaps. Owner was v helpful and responded to questions quickly.
