Great cottage in a wonderful location. It's very compact but packed a lot in to the small space. Ideal for a couple, can fit in one or 2 small children also. We had a 5 year old and 3 month old in tow. The location is superb just on the beach and well within reach of lots of places in up to about 45-50 minutes. Would definitely recommend.

What a beautiful cosy cottage! We stayed here for 5 days in February and despite the cold weather, we all enjoyed the sea breeze and sounds of the crashing waves every morning and evening.A picturesque view from outside of the cottage and Kirsty was exceptionally welcoming. On our departure we received a handmade card and Kirsty even gifted my daughter one of her heart shaped rocks (which made hers and my day!)We can’t wait to return in the summer.
