Beautiful cottage. Perfect for us and the dog. Lots of local dog friendly pubs, beach is very near and some lovely local cheese and seafood in the town. Great stay. We did manage to park outside but there was car parks nearby if off season these are not too busy at all.

Brilliant location - however the property is looking and feeling tired - some simple alterations/decorating would make a big difference
