Great wee cottage for anyone with a dog or two wanting to be near the seaside and explore the area. Friendly locals, handy shop across the road, great dog friendly pub with nice meals and atmosphere less than 5 minutes walk. Good value. Bed mattress very firm for us, but we all have our own preferences. Hope to be back next year.
