Cottage equipped with all you would need. My only comment would be to perhaps show in the handbook where the cooker switches on if turned off at the mains. Never had a problem before when staying there but this year it had been turned off with a switch at the top of the wall by the main outdoor.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at 14A Island Road very much. Comfortable and all equipment you would want is there. The reason for my ratings is firstly, bunk beds to the second bedroom are a poor option for adults. A suggestion ideally would be 2 single divans giving the option to have 2 singles or put together as a second double bed. Secondly, a lack of parking information at time of booking. No information given on pre-booking or reserving parking bays prior to stay.

Very accessible to beaches and town plus the Island car park is right there too. Always busy and you may have to wait a bit to get a space.
