The cottage was beautiful and in a fab position for the town and everything on offer and incredibly quiet - no seagull noise at all.However I wouldn't recommend it for those with mobility issues or families with young children. The stairs are steep and windy and there's no door on the attic room. Also the attic room has beams that you have to navigate when getting in and out of bed but otherwise the attic room is very quaint. We will definitely be going back as we loved the ambiance of the cottage and the proximity to the town.It's such a gorgeous cosy space with lovely views from the kitchen window over the roof tops and of the Abbey and church. Charlene & John who manage the cottage were so ingormative abd helpful and the communication with them is very good.
