We loved the kitchen which had everything you need at your fingertips. The bed was super comfortable with lovely bed clothes which felt really luxurious. The only slight criticism is that I didn't find the front room furniture that comfy but my wife didn't think it was that bad so it might have been me. Thanks for letting us stay.

Great bits - location was excellent, 2 min walk to the beach or the high street. We found parking easy enough on the road nearby, but imagine may be harder in the summer. Cottage was really cosy, furniture and interior design all lovely and can see itâs all been newly furnished and renovated. Kitchen was well stocked had everything we needed and worked well. Bedrooms were comfortable and bedding nice, lots of storage if you needed it. Welcome bits were a nice touch thank you. Organisation through Sykes was easy just picked up key from the lock box there, no other issues. Less good bits - probably just that itâs right next door to a pub so can be noisy from the lounge if people are sitting outside or passing by. Not a huge issue in December but probably more in summer. Stairs were narrow and steep which fine for us but others may struggle. Overall a lovely stay and great location for the cost- thanks a lot

The welcome bits were nice but maybe not just from the local shop.
