A beautifully clean well equipped comfortable cottage in a quiet and lovely residential area only about 350 yards from the Beach . We will recommend Rigg Cottage to others and at some time return to Rigg Cottage for another visit.

Very clean with nice bedding and towels. There were however a few things that's need sorting out: -lino in dining room doesn't fit the floor and is rippled causing a trip hazard - plaster has fallen off of the wall in the front bedroom under the window - bath panel is held on with sticky tape If these were remedy the cottage would be perfect

Delightful little house, 2 minute walk to the seafront down a slight hill. Parking for 2 cars is debatable, perhaps 2 small cars. The rear garden is overlooked by another house at the end of the garden but we only saw the occupants once all week. The rear garden could do with tidying up and the previous holiday makers hadnât cleaned up after their dog so apart from the first night we didnât use the rear garden, we took our dog out. The cottage is comfortable, 2 comfortable sofas and an armchair, decent TV with a Humax freeview box. Great little kitchen/diner. 2 very comfortable bedrooms, really comfortable beds. A large bathroom which was also great, terrific shower and plenty of hot water. I would definitely recommend this place. We would stay here again.
