Good location for accessing the beach and shops but unfortunately the cottage’s carpets were heavily stained in all rooms, the pots and pans had to be washed before we could use them and blanket on the end of the beds were covered in dogs hairs - cleanliness was lacking. The cottage would benefit from a thorough clean and some tlc.

Cottage is comfortable and clean and in a great position, so near to shops, pubs, cafes and the beach.Bed was comfy, steps are steep but come down sideways and they are fine. Front room is comfy and kitchen is well equipped although I didn't do any cooking. Beach is so near and great for the dogs. Both pubs we went in, The Vine and The Griffin are both dog friendly - they Griffin staff were so nice and friendly. The Marine fish and chips were excellent and can highly recommend. We went to The Observatory which was dog friendly and the food was excellent. We had a great time and would definitely go back
