The cottage was lovely, cosy, excellently equipped and just perfect! Brilliant holiday. There was just the two of us and the main bedroom (en-suite) was wonderful (very comfy bed). It has two further double bedded rooms and one other single. Lots of space. Upstairs (with balcony and sea view) and downstairs living areas are spacious. Great locationRead more for town, beach (an easy walk) and wider sightseeing. Parking is onsite. Owners lovely and knowledgeable about local area. Hide
