Beautiful views and walks . Property was clean and had everything needed for our stay . Parking at property was good . Would stay again only drawback is bathroom access via main bedroom but as it was only 2 of us it didnât matter but as we sometimes holiday with grandchildren might have been bit inconvenient . Stairs were very steep if anyone had mobility issues or was elderly . Welcome pack appreciated . Within walking distance was dog friendly pubs .Shops and chip shop .

The welcome pack of milk, wine, bread, butter etc was an unexpected treat. The position of the cottage is just amazing, a minuteâs walk to the beach and a wonderful pub overlooking the sea! Everything you could possibly want is on your doorstep. I highly recommend this property.
