Apart from that the property was excellent and the owner responded immediately to a small query we had. All in all we had a fabulous week away. Thank you

Very comfortable and a good location with a quiet pub across the road, the beach a very short walk away and a shop down the road. The photos of the cottage donât do it justice, both the kitchen and bathroom are beautifully done. Would recommend to anyone.

The owner was very helpful and responsive and provided two cots, two high chairs and a stair gate as we had two babies and a toddler with us, plus dog. The house and garden are very comfortable, spacious and well equipped, with some extras such as buckets and spades, and the bathroom is fab. The location is also great - about 30 seconds walk from the pub, and only a few minutes from the local shop and the beach. The sea was very warm, and we swam and saw a seal which was a bonus. A great place to stay.
