The only drawback is the location is some way from the shops. And you do require a car!Otherwise it is very pleasant and peaceful. Also we did not expect to strip the beds and put the sheets into bags which is a housekeeping requirement!Apart from.that it is a peaceful location and 10.mins drive to the local towns on the coast.

Lovely size cottage and well stocked kitchen. Sum room was lovely. Hot tub well maintained. We enjoyed our stay there. However the maintenance could be better especially upstairs - there's mould around the windows, there appeared to be maybe damp on one wall in a bedroom. Gutters overflowing with leaves etc. Garden bench a bit sad looking. It's a lovely house, just needs some more TLC
