Everything was to perfection, all the needs catered for. It’s a beautiful cottage in the beautiful location, with the lovely sea view and sound of the waves. It was the most relaxing and enjoyable holiday we’ve ever had. Thank you very much!Just a suggestion - a warning sign not to bang your head when opening the store cupboard door in the kitchen is needed.
