A very clean and comfortable house with everything we needed for our short stay. Easy walking distance to the coast and many little shops to look at on the way.

This is a lovely little cottage comfy, clean and in a great spot just on the edge of town. It's just a short stroll to both the town centre and the beach. An added bonus is the local shop just seconds away. We will definitely stay again

The cottage was very cosy, well equipped and had everything we needed including items for our toddler such as a stair Gate etc. Very good location. Short walk to the town centre, pier and beaches. Ideal for touring surrounding areas.

Biggest problem was the cleanliness of the place; the floors, work tops, bath and sinks all needed a clean on arrival. The lounge looked as if it had not been vacuumed in the corners, under the television etc, for a long time. There is a damp patch in the corner of the twin-bedded room on the outside wall. The window frame in the back bedroom wasRead more dirty and mouldy (needs replacing.) The mattress topper was stained when I stripped the bed at the end of our stay. Otherwise, good heating and hot water and kitchen well equipped for family cooking.Location is great for accessing the beach and town. The cottage gave the impression it was a cottage for 6 but it was certainly difficult to seat 6 of us round the table in the kitchen-and we had 2 children with us! Welcome pack was appreciated, thank you. Hide
