Very quiet location, ideal for a relaxing stay. Dog friendly (although we didnt have a dog), which are allowed on many of the beaches.

Had a very relaxing few days in this comfortable and well equipped cottage. Everything you would want is there plus lot of extras. Cottage is small hence no wardrobes in bedroom but does have drawer units and a small rail which a few things can hang from if needed. Very dog friendly - my 2 loved the enclosed garden as well as walks in grounds especially the stream running through it!Would highly recommend it and will definitely book again.

Sadly we were unable to visit ladt week, our 12 year old dog has seizures and had become unstable so we made the decision to sadly not go. We do hope to book again at some stage as it looks a wonderful cottage.
