Lovely location and the cottage was cosy and toastie warm. Lots of hot water and plenty of pots and pans in the spacious kitchen. The local pub, The Mariners, was friendly and the food was good. The local Golf Club was also very friendly. The local shop and cafe, The Ark, sold delicious ice cream and the food in the cafe was delicious. Lovely walk along past the cafe to the next beach.

A lovely well appointed cottage where we were very comfortable. If you are older, as we all were, the stairs were a slight problem as there was no bannister to help us up. Apart from that we were very happy there . Thank you
