Mind your head going down the stairs and getting into bed as the ceiling slopes steeply. The telly was hard to navigate, it needs a better remote. Fabulous cottage with more than adequate equipment and the welcome gifts were lovely. Fantastic views. Shame the neighbour across the road wasnt more friendly about the parking situation, which didn't detract from the beautiful cottage.

Excellent cottage in a lovely position. Flexible accommodation. More instructions on how to use the coffee maker and the electric radiators would have been appreciated.

Fantastic cottage. So warm, comfortable and well-equipped. Great location minutes from the harbour whilst being on a very quiet road. Wonderful sea views from the upstairs windows. Fully enclosed sheltered garden was great for our dog and we enjoyed sitting out in the sunshine which was an added bonus !
