Beautiful surroundings steeped in history. 2 brilliant power showers and endless supply of logs for the fire. Suggest clearer signs for the cottage to prevent the issue of guests from neighbouring holiday cottages walking in on us in error.

We and our dog had a fantastic 3 days here. Lovely location for us, peaceful, secluded, great for our dog and not really too far from local amenities. We did 4 lovely walks nearby and one from the door. Great to see the sea and ships sail past. Will hopefully go back soon.
