We got a large wood order early on to keep the fire going and the cottage super warm, details supplied by owner and well worth it. We got great tips from the owner about where to visit. The cottage is nicely presented and good for dogs too. Lovely stay, thank you

The cottage is well located for all the beaches and villages of the Heritage Coast, and Belford (a few minutes drive away) has a great Co-Op and a fab fish & chippy! Highly recommended.
