A perfect family get away next to the beach. The able bodied can climb down the rocks for beach access. Not the cottage for anyone who struggles with steps. The cottage is well equipped, comfortable and has been updated since the pictures so we had a pleasant surprise. We purchased activity passes for the holiday park at the end of the road so we were able to swim at the pool and enjoy evening entertainment whilst staying in this beautiful cottage.
