Fantastic cottage. Lots of space for our two families to enjoy together. Brilliant garden for our dog and beautiful views from the upstairs living room. A generous welcome pack on arrival was a lovely touch too. Thank you!

All the best bits and lots of them>Great location with nice sea views and a few minutes walk to the pretty harbour and great restaurantsEasy parking for 3 cars off-roadAll the rooms a generous size and the whole house was nice and clean. Everything you could ever want was in the house. Can't think of anything we missed!Beds very comfortable and cleanSettees in the lounge fine but difficult for less mobile to get back out of!!!Large garden fully contained for dogs that was a big bonusOnly negative is that the house does need some urgent maintainance (knobs switches valves etc stuck of hanging off. Not an issue to us but needs addressingOverall a fabulous stay and we will definitely return next year and no doubt thereafter

I chose Kannier cottage because we needed a ground floor bedroom but it turned out to be a lovely, spacious, well equipt house with good facilities and a view of the sea. I’d definitely recommend.
