The cottage is amazing Hot tub and log burner a definite plus ! Bed a bit too hard for me but otherwise everything was good. Lots of beach walks nearby and some lovely places to eat All in all, a lovely 4 night break and the dogs had an amazing time running freely on the beaches and swimming in the sea

This is an outstanding property. We were made to feel most welcome by Louise who wanted to make sure we had all we needed. Welcome pack was very nice !! Equipped with everything !!Only 15 mins or so to some amazing beaches which the dog loved. Considering the time of year (Nov) we had good weather and the cafe's on the beaches were mostly open. Free parking in most places and no dog restrictions after 31 October.We will be back - loved it !!
