The perfect cottage for a lovely break. The village is very very quiet but has a nice pub which served top notch seafood and a convenience store.The cottage itself is lovely. Everything has been thought of and it was lovely to relax inside , cosy and warm while the wind howled outside. The practicals are all addressed because everything works and there is enough of everything. A really lovely and comfortable place to stay. Thank you A cafitiere(?) would be nice. Nespresso is not my type of coffee but that's splitting hairs.

This is the second time we have rented this cottage and we were not disappointed. The accommodation is fresh and clean with good quality facilities. Appreciated the welcome pack and the dogs enjoyed their biscuits. Certainly hope to be back!
