Beautiful cottage stay In a beautiful area Comfortable beds Equipped kitchen Large family bathroom Large garden Beach is stunning great for surfing/paddle boardingSandy safe and clean. Great costal walks House is semi detached however Interconnecting internal doors ground and Landing into the hosts private quarters you can literally hear normal conversations. This made us feel alittle uncomfortable as we did have three rather loud children and yapping dogs. Kitchen is narrow it only really one person able to use at a time. Needs an air fryer. No washing up liquid that would help Nice welcome basket of cake and eggs Internet connection is very hit and miss Our own network did not work at all and the WiFi connection was down a lot. Only having one toilet with a large group can be troublesome. If you want remote it’s perfect Pretty much 1hour from anywhere either way. However we enjoyed our time in a beautiful part of the world. Probably wouldn’t rebook just due to remote and the lack of privacy due to the doors separating the buildings But we came back rested and properly the best sleep I’ve had in years
