We had a fantastic weekend at Barn Cottage, the location is absolutely perfect, handy for the beach, local restaurants, the seal sanctuary and so much more. It was the perfect base for a family trip to the seaside, even in February- we especially enjoyed the hot tub!

Cottage was cosy and warm. Ideally situated for exploring local towns and beaches. There were plenty of cafes and restaurants despite being late in the season. Ian the owner was very helpful and always at the end of the phone if required. The only issue we had was with the decking as being winter it was very slippery. It could also do with a few more kitchen items, such as baking or casserole dishes and some larger bowls for soup or pasta. These would be particularly useful if you did not want to eat out all the time. However, these issues would not prevent us returning to the lovely cottage. Our time in the cottage was over the Christmas and New Year period.
