Mr King
We found the cottage very comfortable and in a good location within easy walking distance of the town and beach. The off road parking was a big plus. The kitchen is a bit cramped but was ok for the two of us and was well equipped. Didn't get time to spend long in the garden but the outside lighting was a nice touch as was the useful welcome pack. We would happily book again.

A really comfortable holiday home. Spotlessly clean and close to the town and beach.
