Good location however you need to be able to climb steps as there are a lot about, in and around the property. The hill to the car park is a steep climb, not for the fainthearted. Cottage ideally situated for the Beach and pubs and restaurants. Kitchen well equipped and cosy.

Lovely cosy cottage in a great spot. Only slight criticism is the radiators are a bit temperamental and difficult to operate to get the required heat from them

Fantastic cottage in a great position. It was better than what we imagined beforehand. The open fire was lovely. We are a family of 5, made up of 3 young children under 7 and it suited us. Many thanks, we will endeavour to return in the future.
