Awesome power shower. Great heating. Massive bed. Good WiFi. Good parking. Good towels. Good kitchen utilities. Good arrival instructions. Laundry in building next door. About a half mile walk along the beach to Robin Hoods Bay (tide timing book in cottage). Cottage down a 2 mile single lane concreted track. Only negative was that we left early due to the uk weather warnings (early Jan 2025). We would definitely stay here again.
