A fantastic house with loads of little extras that just made me smile - the dog towels, the sweeties and all the lovely throws, which we certainly needed on the breezy weekend when we stayed in April.

Great winter break, lovely warm house in a fantastic location.
Mrs Pickersgill
The cottage was well positioned to enjoy the harbour and local shops, pubs, restaurants and beaches. On arrival the cottage was very welcoming with beautiful flowers and delicious scones and clotted cream. It had everything needed for a lovely break and the support from the person who looks after the cottage was amazing. I would happily recommend this cottage to family and friends.
