We had a lovely 5 days in this cottage. It's furnished to a high standard and has all the equipment you may need for a self catering break, including an air fryer!It's close to a beautiful sandy beach but also serves as a good base to explore further afield. The hosts were friendly and welcoming, but not intrusive. While the double bed is snug it was a little short and lacked space for the 2 of us, as my other half is over 6ft and broad shouldered, so he ended up spending lot of the night on the lovely reclyining sofa. However after 5 nights we were ready for a bed that could accommodate us comfortably. Overall, this is probably one of the nicest properties I've stayed in and would recommend it for a base to spend time in the area.
