Very quiet location but 2 pubs, beach, village green, historic church and places to eat all within a few minutes walk. Everything in the kitchen, including the cooker, was in as new condition. If I was coming back to this area I would definitely use this cottage again.

Cosy Bee is certainly cosy for 2 people but I wouldn't recommend it for 4 especially if it's 4 adults. There is only seating for 3 people at the dining table and the lounge although comfortable is very snug and not big enough if there were 4. Also maybe a few general items could be provided, for example, washing up liquid, a kitchen towel and an extra toilet roll as there was only the remains of one left, and perhaps a pint of milk. I understand its SC but these few items would certainly make a difference. However on the plus side we really did enjoy our week!

Beautiful. For dog owners, this is the cottage for you. An enclosed garden with different levels and plants to sniff. A dog box with blankets available to use. Wonderful walks on your door step. It is a very dog friendly area. Never seen so many Frenchies in my life! This was truly the best cottage we have stayed in. Exceptionally clean and well supplied with everything you need.
