A lovely few days at Kippy Cottage.
A lovely few days at Kippy Cottage. The cottage was ideal - well equipped and nicely decorated. Very cosy with the log burner in the evenings. Comfortable beds and good internet etc. It was ideally suited for us with our dog - access straight on to the beach - she had a lovely time. The village itself was great - a bar, two cafes, ice cream parlour, pub, village shop and fish and chip shop (excellent by the way). Everything one could wish for. Highly recommended.

Wow! Such a lovely cottage, really tastefully decorated, in a superb location, everything provided for, really well though out. You can sit outside and see the sea or listen to the waves crashing all through the night. Love the beautifully artistic blackboard with lots of very useful information as was the info pack. Loved the Kippy Cottage spotify playlist, catches the mood perfectly! Lovely cafes within walking distance of the cottage, so close to a wonderful beach. It's great for surfing, walking, watching the sunset or star gazing on a clear night. A little slice of paradise â¤ï¸Very minor points would be a larger bed.Couple more pans.It has everything you could wish for in a seaside cottage x
