Lovely view and well equipped and clean. We had a great time. However, we would not recommend the property for elderly and / or infirm people. The bedrooms are very small and access to get into bed is very restricted. OK for the young and nimble.

This cottage is all about the view it’s very special (conservatory glass a bit damaged so view not so great there) Comfy house very close to bars beach etc . Bedroom sizes bit tight for larger people with little space but living room and view makes it all worthwhile. Also no tumble drier so bit hard getting stuff dry on the wet days . Arrived after 9 hour journey and not even a pint of milk for aWelcome, looking at comments in house book some people get a nice welcome pack and others get nothing which is disappointing at the price range . Nice wee nespresso machine but no pods which is a shame . No local info or books in the house either . Just a few niggles but overall a wonderful cottage
