We stayed in Going Coastal for a few nights and found it to be the most wonderful and cosy cottage. The attention to detail is lovely with little touches here and there making it feel unique and homely. We spent the cold nights is the cosy Lounge with the logs burning and large comfy sofas to relax on. The host is very attentive and on hand should you need anything. We didn’t experience much sunshine however the small village would’ve been lovely to walk around and the beach looked inviting too. If only it were summer!Would highly recommend this cottage and we would definitely return.

Wow…….what a beautiful, quaint & cosy cottage in a lovely little fisher village just a 2 minute walk from the shore.The cottage had everything you need for a great stay, kitchen well equipped with oven, induction hob, microwave, good coffee machine and every utensil you will need including the very useful corkscrew ( it was put to good use) Bed was super comfy as were the pillows, plenty hanging space and shelving for even the longest of stays. Living room has 2 large comfy sofas and chair and best of all the log burner, spent 1 week there and the weather was not kind, rained the whole time but coming back to a cosy house after a long dreich walk with Lexi the Australian Labradoodle was a welcome treat.Would like to say what an eye for detail Joann has in the decor of the cottage from the paint colours to the soft furnishings, the pictures on the wall, the toilet roll holder and towel hooks and the vintage toggle light switch and air vents she really has a great sense of how to dress a period house, loved it.I would definitely recommend Going Coastal no matter what season.
