The information provided by the owners was very helpful and the contacts they made with us made us feel very well supported. We missed seeing them on several occasions so did not meet them, unfortunately, but knew they were near to help if we had needed any help.

This is a charming cottage, with an honest and accurate listing, not pretending to be more than basic. It's not overly refurbished and blessedly free of seaside tat. Important things are good and work well: comfortable beds, good bath & shower, heating, wifi, TV. But beyond the basics, the cottage was not comfortable enough for a stay longer than a few days. Hooks on backs of doors are not the best place to hang towels, a few more lamps would be helpful for reading, a few decent hangers would be good, and a small carton of milk in the fridge would have been very welcome. Although we received a friendly and helpful email ahead of our stay from the cottage owners, we did not meet them while we were there.

Cosy, quaint and full of character, this is the perfect place to stay; warm and inviting in winter and less than 100 steps from the beach ( and The Ferry Boat Inn), so would be just the job for a summer holiday too. Loved the cottage and hope to return shortly.
