Lovely cottage, and good location for all the south east coast beaches. Great for dog owners. Owners were extremely helpful. A little tired, but excellent value for money.

Very pleasant location. Quiet but close to local amenities (Morrisons and pubs within minutes). Close to good road network and railway for trips around the area. Cottage is well equipped and comfortable. Would recommend.
