Very good location for the main seaside towns. Lovely walks with the dog and a paddock on site for a quick walk with the dog. They left cream tea and milk on arrival which was a nice gesture. Only thing to point out to owner was the dvd player didnât work. Other than that a lovely stay and would like to return out of season to use the cosy log burner.

The cottage was excellent and very comfortable with everything that we needed. Our dogs loved the paddock to run around in - they will definitely be back and so will we! Thanks so much.
