We had a great time and were very comfortable in the cottage. The owner was very friendly and kept in touch to ensure we had a good experience. We would definitely recommend Sea Breezes and will be booking to stay again at a later date.

It was a quiet and clean and the furniture was very comfortable, and we had every thing we needed to enjoy a relaxing stay. The welcome pack was appreciated and the owners were helpful and kind. Lots of games and books, and so close to the beach and two pleasant pubs that did good meals.
