Kitchen is well equipped though some non-stick frying pans would be better than the current ones. Handy to be able to dry clothes in the sun room. The location is great, on a quaint street only a few minutes walk to the town and beach. We enjoyed our stay here!

The cottage was clean on arrival and the facilities were as described. We would definitely return, the cottage was close to shops and restaurants and the beach a great location and no hills to go up and down. I would recommend to friends.

In over 40 years of hiring cottages, this is the first time this has happened! Also, no folder giving details of nearest shops, places to eat etc.
