Nice property in a good location - though parking can be a bit awkward - it was ideal for our short stay.

Lovely cottage with a lot of extras. Kitchen utensils, few bits in stock cupboard and board games all not expected. A lot of the cottage is tired and could do with some paint Cottage nicely situated along top, over looks harbour if look window.
