It's a good starting point for both, nature walks as well as beach life. The view is spectacular and the house was perfect for 4 people.

Unfortunately, on arrival we found the cottage was not what we were expecting, being 1 of 4 units with all outside space shared with the other three units. The occupants of the other units were holidaying together and tended to monopolise the outside area, which made us feel hemmed in, so after staying one night we moved to another cottage. The listing needs to be much clearer in this regard. The site is obviously more suited to groups of families holidaying together and for those looking for a suitable location, this is a good choice. Our problem was therefore chiefly with the way the property has been listed. For those seeking a bit more solitude, I suggest looking elsewhere. The owners kindly left a bottle of wine and the property was clean. One issue of note was the noisy plumbing, which sounded like the QE2 mooring every time the toilet was flushed.

The welcome wine is a very nice touch thank you, as we had booked a self catering holiday we had of course taken our own tea, coffee, etc! The lady who looks after the properties is extremely helpful and friendly. Yes we would highly recommend this cottage.
