Loved the cottage it is half a house but very unique. The cottage was very clean with its free little box of cleaning clothes, washing up liquid and a sachet of non bio. Plus a new packet for welsh tea fresh ground coffee milk and packet of biscuits. The pud and restaurant were absolutely fantastic and welcoming. The sea view was fantastic when theRead morere wasn't any sea fogs.The stairs are not that wide so you wouldn't get a large and medium size suit case up the stairs. I would definitely going there again. Lovely and peaceful. Hide

The cottage is only accessible down a thin back passage - do not think about taking a modern car down there unless you are very good at reversing. The garden gate was just hanging on, the 'postbox' was badly rusted so if you touch it, something will fall off. There was a lot of rusted things about, suggesting a lack of maintenance. Inside the cottRead moreage was quite small - compact. The spiral staircase quickly became less charming as tall or wide people have to negotiate with care. Generally, it was a pleasant stay; clean and tidy. Hide

A lovely little cottage in a nice quiet location close to many different beaches. Lots of nice places to eat nearby. If you are a little infirm or have mobility issues the stairs could be a problem (spiral metal staircase) but thats the only issue. Lovely to be able to see the sea from the window.

Although small - the cottage is best described as cosy and adequate for two people with all the necessary equipment to want for nothing.

Amazing stay, perfect location if you have a car. Loved the conservatory and the outdoor seating. Stairs are ok but not suitable for someone with mobility issues.

This cottage is ideal for two people, in a very quiet location. It is very well equipped, well heated and a lot effort and thought has gone into making sure that guests are well catered for. It has an enclosed paved garden that is dog proof (we have a Border Terrier).

It's smaller than expected, but very cosy. Ideal for exploring the surrounding area. Perfect for coastal walk and some amazing coves nearby. However, the photos were misinterpreted, as the sea view was not as we envisaged. On the whole an enjoyable and chilled holiday.
