The location and cottage were so lovely we didnt want to go home! The surroundings very peaceful allowing a relaxing break, a short walk from a lovely beach, pub, shop and of course fish & chips! Not too far either to explore other beaches in the area, the dogs were worn out from having so much fun playing at the beaches. Everywhere we went was dogRead more friendly and the gardens of the property securely fenced. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we are already looking at when we can visit again. Hide

Great location. Enclosed small garden was perfect for little children and dogs. Marking down on equipment simply because the boiler system wasn't very effective. Difficult to obtain hot water from the instant hot water system as the boiler only turned on when the water was full on, and we felt the system wasted a lot of water as a consequence. NoRead more dishwasher is fine, but only one tea towel was provided which is more consistent with properties with a dish washer. Hide
