We loved the cottage with the carefully chosen decorations and the cute little garden. It was also perfectly located, close to the beach and yet beyond the hustle and bustle. Parking was quite a challenge. We found a parking space on a Tuesday in the island car park and got a really affordable weekly ticket. However, we weren't aware at that time tRead morehat we wouldn't be able the move the car for the next three days as it was so busy that there we already several cars waiting for a free space. We were very lucky with the weather and had a great time at the beach. In the bedrooms it got really hot, though. Even with all windows open at night it didn't really cool down. Hide

Absolutely gorgeous place, perfect location in the middle of everything but still really quiet & peaceful. Everything pretty, comfortable and well worked out Theres absolutely everything you might need, even a picnic set and windbreak in the cupboard under the stairs. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils and the garden is delightful. If you have pRead moreroblems walking theres no hills between you and the beach. Porthmoor is ten mins walking max. Coop supermarket one min walking away open till late! Couldnt ask for more. Cheapest parking we found was Park Avenue carpark about five mins walk for 26 for a week in September - not bad! Hide
