Wonderful sea front location. Immediate access to coastal walks.Beautiful furnishings in the lounge, recently added.Warm, cosy, inviting cottage. Home from home.Welcoming friendly pub next door with 5* service and food. Great decor too.Shower was wonderful, with power. I say this because previous reviewers wanted a power shower! Be reasonable folks-it’s a cottage, a very lovely one too.
