Location wise for the village its perfect 10 minutes walk to the beach, shop very handy. Would be nice if basics like salt pepper were provided. People like added value and I think many would appreciate basic welcome pack a pint of milk a few tea bags ? It's just a nice touch. The house its self is a good size and comfortable, previous reviews mention sofa/chairs being hard? We found them comfortable if a little tired. The stairs were also mentioned in previous reviews as noisy, they are very if it were my home I would sort this as they are very noisy walking up and down, not an issue unless everyone is in bed asleep. Parking in the allocated parking was impossible for us, my Saab 9-5 would have just made it if I folded in the mirror's but as there is no room to turn round reversing out would have been a major issue especially if the next door family were home with their car. We parked to the front of the property close in to the house and had no issues. The locals are very friendly and pleasant. I think it would be useful to potential visitors to advise that midsized or larger cars will not fit down the side of the property and you have to reverse out which if there's any cars out the front will be problematic at best. Small cars would have no issues. I do think this needs mentioning, SUVs Saabs and larger family cars beware.. As I said though we overcome this easily enough. In summary great location, comfortable, reasonable value and friendly locals. I would recommend

Two different neighbours approached us and asked us not to park on their section of the street (one of which didnât have a car!). Two of our party had mobility issues and the parking with the cottage was inaccessible with our large vehicle. There was insufficient space to open the doors wide enough. The cottage itself is not really suitable for people with mobility issues. There are no bannister for example. The cleaning was also poor. There were cobwebs throughout and dirty pots. There were lots of minor issues that I tried to report but the phone wasnât answered (leaking taps, temperamental cooker) and others that had been in the visitor book since 2018. The positives - the cottage is in a nice quiet park of town, is comfortable and has plenty of space. The kitchen facilities are great. We enjoyed the garden and walking to the beach. On arrival day, we had a small issue and received a personal visit, which was great service!

The TV in the bedroom did quite a lot of updates in the night - this created a blue flashing light which woke us up! Could this be turned off? Property was very clean
