The cottage is only 500 yards from the beach, where dogs are welcome all year round, and the beach is a blend of sand dunes and wide open space. Further south, during the summer the promenade is very popular, with the Claremont Pier a big hit with little ones (and big kids!).

Beautiful little fisherman’s cottage, great location with beach, shops, takeaways all close by. Spotlessly clean and well equipped only downside for us was the chandelier lighting on already low ceilings husband 6’4” and I’m 5’5” and even I kept hitting me head as hard to avoid. Beds very soft which may suit some but for me as I have back issues caused a lot of pain resulting in me having to sleep on floor. But we loved location and cottage apart from that 😊

We had a great stay, Mandy was a great host, I forgot to bring my slow cooker and she went out and brought a new one for me to use. Garden small but didn't bother us as we were out all day, plus beach is just 5 minutes away.
