Thank you Everything thought of, even a knife sharpener - so many cottages have the bluntest of knives as no one ever sharpens or has the means to sharpen but a cottage that includes a knife sharpener (and a good one at that) indicates that even the smallest details are cared for.

It was very clean and comfortable. The cottage is in a great position, handy for beaches and town.

The location, parking and the rooms are a perfect size with lots of storage. The beds are comfy and the kitchen has everything you would need. The oven did break but a quick msg to the owner and the repair man came the next day and fixed it. The only downside is only 1 shower as the main bathroom just has a bath. But this wouldn't stop us rebooking again with 6 people staying.
