Had a fabulous time. The cottage is a minutes walk from two pubs that serve food, train station, convenience store and half a mile walk to the beach which has a hotel with beer garden, cafe and sauna.The accomodation had secure outside space for the dog with a seating area. Inside was very modern with everything you could need, also the site is very dog friendly with an area to take them in the morning and eveningThe owners mother greeted us with a very warm welcome and was helpful on places to go in the village for food. Will be back, thank you 😊

Disappointed as no view it was not what we had expected the conservatory was not good as there was no escape from the sun as no blinds on the roof so difficult to see the TV. No instructions about the equipment or places to visit or where shops were etc. What was there was excellent but more was needed to ensure regular visits.
