Lovely place with fantastic views. We could not have asked for more. The house was furnished well and had everything you could need to enjoy your stay.

Amazing place re views etc. We went mid February and local stores/chippy etc as mentioned in folder not open till March. There was a nisa store close by (you go through a holiday park to get to house and nisa store part of that). Handy re entertainment centre and restaurant (so long as you don't have a dog - but they do takeaways).Truly, absolutely recommend staying at wavecrest. Our dog loved his walks on beach, as did we. Going back to this lovely cottage after a chilly walk was brilliant.
