Muffy cottage is a delightfully charming property that has been carefully and exquisitely renovated to give a modern feel but at the same time retain its original character. It is quite small and compact but clever use has been made of the space so it feels cosy but not cramped. It was scrupulously clean, well maintained and equipped with absoluteRead morely everything needed to ensure a comfortable, relaxing stay. Unfortunately for us the weather that week was atrocious , but it didnt spoil our holiday as the cottage was so cosy and welcoming we enjoyed time spent there reading and relaxing. It is ideally situated half way down a narrow little road leading to the quay , shops , cafes and pubs.There is also a handy car park at the top of the road.We would thoroughly recommend Muffy Cottage as one of the nicest properties we have ever stayed in and would love to go back in better weather so we could enjoy the pretty garden.

Lovely cottage. It has very tasteful furnishings and the owner has obviously made a real effort to make the cottage welcoming with little touches like a welcome pack, bottled water in the bedrooms and sufficient consumables in the kitchen.
