Perfect location. Stunning little cottage
Perfect location. Beautiful little cottage. Very homely. Has everything you need and the beds were really comfortable. We loved our stay and will definitely return.
My parents very much enjoyed their stay and said the place was beautiful and extremely well equipped. Fantastic location and so peaceful and quiet. Thank you for the stay
Check in was easy and care free.
The facilities were amazing and the fireplace made for nice evenings inside with the kids.
Would definitely recommend to anyone with families or pets!
Absolutely loved the decor, ambience of this soothing and relaxing cute cottage. Love the fact it's right next to the beach which we enjoyed our morning walks, and the cute little kitchen which we enjoyed our breakfast. Highly recommend for a relaxing weekend away.
Lovely little cottage. Just a short walk to the beach and short drive to other beaches and places
Very easy to access and early check-in was available for my stay. Chris and Sally were available for any queries and stopped by to see how everything was.
Excellent for dogs. Very safe for them as property has a secure large outdoor area and that opens to a car park and garden a long way from the street.
Well equipped kitchen.
Comfortable beds.
Charming decor.
We had the most amazing stay at the Shell Croft, the owner went above and beyond to ensure the property was clean and comfortable. The fully equipped coffee machine was the best addition to the property as well as the outdoor deck which was lovely on warm nights :)
Very impressive and clean. Great facilities and entertainment stuffs. Chris and Sally are very considerate. The only suggestion is probably to place something near the stove so that my cat could not get beneath it next time and hide inside. Overall, the stay is very worth of the money paid!

Amazing. A beautiful place and a fantastic host that caters for your every need.
The property was amazing. Spotlessly clean and with everything you could want or need for a quiet weekend away.
I had asked for a couple of extra things and nothing was an issue.
Sally was brilliant to deal with from the outset.
I would highly recommend. Had a fantastic time.
