We had a wonderful,relaxing stay here. Was like home from home. Location is great. House is very comfortable and cosy and we'll equipped. I loved all the little touches like seaside ornaments,artwork ,fairy lights etc. The bathrooms are very small and we couldn't use shower in the en suite as was too much of a squeeze to get in. I love the quirks of an old cottage though so for a few days this was perfectly okay.
