Starlight Cottage is tucked away in a sheltered, quiet yard behind Cliff Street in a very popular area of West Cliff ideally situated for shops, restaurants and attractions; and only a five-minute walk to the tidal sandy beach. The Abbey is a short walk via the swing bridge and 199 steps. The split-level property is rebuilt on the site of an 18th-century fisherman's cottage and former laundry. The property is family friendly with a high chair and travel cot available. The raised level patio is behind gates, with a summerhouse and garden furniture. The master bedroom looks east over the harbour to the Abbey. From Cliff Street, a short passage and two short flights of stone steps with railings leads up to this sheltered hideaway. Those with walking difficulties may require assistance and small children should be supervised on the access steps to the property.

Another really enjoyable stay at Starlight cottage. Love the view across to the Abbey from the main bedroom. We find the location of the cottage excellent and its position is very quiet.

Lovely cottage, unfortunately it was not cleaned properly and many of the utensils are not useable (rusty). We are making a separate complaint about this as we feel that the cleaning fee should be refunded.
