From here you go through into the homely sitting room with a woodburning stove that will keep you warm on winter days. Theres no better way to relax after a busy day than to light the stove and to forget about the hustle and bustle of daily life. Completing the ground floor is a double bedroom and a shower room.

The cottage was well-equipped, with comfortable seating and beds. We had a couple of issues with plumbing, but Isabel got those sorted out quickly. Would definitely like to return and strongly recommend Coast House very strongly!

Saving grace was the view which was beautiful

There were no instructions on how to operate the oven. It would have been good to have a book on things to do and when local shops are open..so we left our own book about that
