Lovely stay, very quaint small property, ideal for a long weekend with a small family. Handy car park permit. Would benefit from a heated airer as we found it hard to dry clothes and towels in damp weather. Overall a lovely stay and would recommend.

The cottage is compact, but very comfortable. There should be more notice that the staircase is very steep. We had no problems, but for someone even more elderly, it might be a real problem. The access info could be clearer. There was no indication of how to get into the backyard . We had to explore to find the way.The situation couldnt be better - 5 minutes down on to the beach and main street. Having a parking permit was a very valuable hidden extra.

The cottage is very small indeed but the space well utilised. However there are quite a lot of locked cupboards - if they could be freed up that would be a significant improvement. Once of the kitchen sink plugs did not seal. No free cupboard space in the kitchen for food storage apart from the fridge, there is far too much crockery etc for the maximum guests to use which could go to create some space. The bathroom radiator should be on a separate control so can heat towels when the central heating is not being used. The bathroom pebble effect flooring is very grey compared to the same on the walls, which was rather off putting. The instructions regarding dustbins did not match the configuration of bins on site - at all - a voicemail to the owners was not answered so we put some rubbish where we hoped was OK and took the rest home with us. Despite all this we really liked the cottage and had a lovely holiday. A car parking space across the road was a big plus.
