the cottage is very comfortable, clean and has everything you would need, beautiful views on all sides, a short stroll and you are on the beach, a short drive to the pub where the Pizza van is at the beginning of the week, you can order the pizza of your choice and have a drink whilst waiting for your order, meanwhile look out for the seals in the water, Trish was a lovely welcoming host. just a very relaxing comfortable stay, best wishes Gail and Steve
