Had everything we needed, even a proper sized toaster. 5 min walk to local shop. 10mins walk to local train station. Scenic train journeys up and down coast. Nice local beach. Enough lanes and footpaths for some cycling and walking. We enjoyed our stay.

The kitchen, especially, was a joy. The welcome cake and wine were very welcome! A minor quibble was the lack of a mirror in the small, but perfectly formed en suite. The houseâs location was perfect for exploring the area and the neighbouring sheep and cattle were very friendly!
