This is a lovely, clean cottage. it was in a quiet area, so sleeping was not a problem. We celebrated a family birthday whilst at the cottage. The spacious ground floor and garden including patio ensured there was plenty of space for 6 adults, three children and a dog to spend the day together. The beach is about a 10min walk which was ideal for thRead moree grandchildren. We had a special time at Cherry Cottage and would not hesitate to return again. Hide
