The cottage worked really well for us. The location was great and the dog loved the back garden. The cottage has more than enough space for a bigger family and it has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The area was quite but still closed enough to the harbour and amenities. The only downside was that I would consider it inaccessible for anyone with mobility issues. It has a walk-in shower but it is small and a really high stepping point to get into it.

Lovely well equipped home from home. All needs met. Gorgeous location with sea views from the upstairs window. Within excellent distance from the sea shore. Secure garden for our dog with lots of free space to play. We had such a nice stay we didn't want to leave.

Very comfortable home. Owners were kind enough to let us know about a water issue in the area in person. He stopped by to inform us what was going on and timing of resolution. Would recommend to anyone, and will definitely stay there again when in the area.
