Cobweb corner is a cute little cottage full of character and charm! Tony who owns it lives in the larger adjoining cottage door with his lovely dog Otto. Tony was so friendly and accommodating and was so good (as was otto) with our daughter. He is full of local knowledge, places to visit, pubs to eat at etc. Our daughter loved the attic play room and having a quiet hide away space to chill out in. Beds were comfy and we slept so well after long days on the beach. Full digital TV package to catch up on programmes or chill out with a film night. Never ran out of hot water with us all showering every night to get rid of the sand. There's no oven but a clean and easy to use air fryer, electric touch hob and microwave was fine to cook a variety of meals! A shop next door (expensive) but very useful for grabbing essentials or a bottle of wine and only a 10 minute stroll to the local beach which is beautiful. If there's anything you need just ask Tony and he'll help or point you in the right direction! We have previously stayed at Trecco bay caravan site (round the corner) but much preferred Cob Webb corner for a more chilled out and relaxed holiday away from the hustle and bustle of it all!!

The semi spiral stairs may prove a challenge to the elderly or persons with restricted mobility. Tony White the owner was very welcoming, helpful and a font of local history and knowledge. Thankfully the coffin drop was not needed.
