Lovely house near the beach with parking. Everything you need except a welcome pack would be good. We had a terrible journey and after 10hrs not even a pint of milk in the fridge !

The cottage was spot on. Lovely, spacious, clean and comfortable and had a homely feel about it. The courtyard is very tight for an suv vehicle so we parked opposite. The areas not brilliant, small seaside town that hasn’t had much love over the years but the closeness to the beach was perfect. There is a pub right next door but we never heard any noise nor from the streets outside. We popped in the pub a couple of times and were made to feel welcome including our dog. The only thing that would make this place better would be a downstairs toilet as coming back from a long walk when it’s been wet and windy outside - certainly put my pelvic floor muscles to the test from removing wet coats/shoes and racing upstairs 🤭The weekend ticked all our boxes though. Thank you.

The house has all the equipment you’ll need for a great self-catering break.
