Dr Sharples
A lovely little cottage, very clean and perfect for our family of 4. We have stayed twice now and loved it. Noise insulation was pretty good so we didn't get woken by the seagulls. There was a bit of a brewery smell on one or two of the days but this added to the charm. Great location near the shops and easy walk to beach etc. The shower is a bit on the small side. Great to have washing machine and dishwasher, really appreciated the 3 dishwasher tabs for us to use. Thanks!

Great quirky cottage, very close to the shops and sea. Everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The only mini issue is the shower being narrow to get into so limiting person size tbh.

Tired. The lounge is very dark with a garden in serious need of love and attention.
