The location is repeatedly described as excellent, with easy access to beaches, the town, and a convenient corner shop, making it an ideal spot for visitors.
Most guests find the cottage comfortable and cosy, although one review mentions the rooms as cramped, suggesting comfort may be subjective to the space expectations of the guest.

Mrs Feather
Fantastic location right on the sea front and near to all of the cafes. Lovely big sofa and flat screen TV in the lounge with Netflix. The newly renovated kitchen and bathroom were lovely. The shower was great and powerful. Beautiful fresh cut iris flowers in the kitchen which bloomed during our week stay.
