    Lovely clean cottage. Comfy beds and well equipped kitchen.Perfect location, close to Bay Pub serving amazing food.It’s not a complaint just an observation the shower temperature varied despite no other water being run. Would benefit from a thermostatically controlled shower.

    We had a wonderful stay, the cottage was well equipped and cosy. The only problem was the bed on the first floor at the front of the property had damaged slats so it was uncomfortable. Also the smoke alarms located above the beds have a flashing light that is annoying, the bathroom and bedroom sink plugs don’t work.The location is amazing, lots of choice eating out. We would book again.
