The cottage was spotlessly clean, and in an ideal place with beach, shops and pubs all close by. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was the weather as it rained 5 days out of the 7, though I donât blame the owner after all it was mid-March. Hope to re-book in the future in warmer months.

The cottage was cosy, comfortable and clean my only criticism was there was no full length mirror anywhere and a brush and shovel would have been handy to sweep the kitchen floor. Had a lovely holiday and have rebooked for April and September 2024

Very comfortable and cosy. Useful back garden. Although there was no off road parking it was not an issue, as there are plenty of spaces nearby. Local shops and places to eat all within a few minutes walk. No real issues but if I was being super critical I would say the cutlery could do with upgrading. Could do with a toast rack!. Oven trays were limited, a few smaller ones would be useful. No pizza tray which is always easier to use. But that is all, otherwise this is a lovely cottage which I highly recommend.
