Our two Jack Russell pups had never been on holiday before and loved the huge enclosed garden. Easy to use appliances, could just have used a little more cutlery. I always take towels so didn't use the bath towels which were a little small. Would highly recommend a stay..really thought they would have left a welcoming bottle of whisky

Short walk to the beach. Great pub. The area is so peaceful. Locals really friendly. If you want bright lights and entertainment this is not for you.

As this was our first experience of letting a holiday cottage I would highly recommend it.
