Neil
Our host gave us a very friendly welcome. We were comfortable and warm and found everything easy to use. Nice views of the sea and only a short walk (5 Mins) from the high street, so in a very good position. Very minor issues: a few hooks on the backs of doors would be useful; as would having somewhere under cover to park our bikes; fortunately we brought bike covers with us. Other than that, it was a great place to stay

Susie and Michael, the owners, live next door but don't bother you. They left a lovely breakfast pack on arrival. The cottage has everything you need and is lovely and spacious with a great view of the Atlantic from the garden. The sunsets were fabulous. A great base to explore from..mountains to beaches and much more. Great pubs and shops just up the road. It's a wonderful place.

Great hosts, contactable and informative. Tha only suggested improvement would be an electric shower over the bath. Would highly recommend a stay at this property.
