Lovely cosy cottage in great location. Spotlessly clean & well equipped. Loved snuggling up in front of the open fire listening to the storm outside. We've stayed in lots of holiday cottages & this is one of our new favourites, we shall definitely return.

Sunnydene is perfectly situated right by the harbour.....it was lovely to fall asleep to the sound of the sea. The cottage is very well equipped and immaculately clean. Beds are super comfy. Communication with the host was great...timely and informative. Highly recommend The Cod and Lobster .....right on the doorstep ....a wonderfully friendly pub offering a wide selection of amazing seafood.
