This is the 2nd time we have come to Divers Cottage, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. There are plenty of shops and good supermarkets right on the doorstep. So very comfortable, and didn't want to come home. Will definitely want to come again.

Lovely cottage from the inside, don't be put off by the frontage! Could do without the bins out side and a bit of a spruce up.Very close to the sea front but it is opposite a carpark.On the whole we had a very enjoyable time couldn't fault the comfort or the cleanliness.
