It appeared that the cottage has recently been renovated and refurbished as everything seemed new. The oven and microwave need a special type of brain to operate, but one of the party worked it out. The instructions (accessed via QR code) were only marginally helpful. Very comfortable beds and the living room was plenty big enough for all of us. Absolutely loads of equipment in the kitchen so we never ran out of mugs and glasses. The shower rooms and bathroom were spotless and easy to operate. It was an easy 10 minutes walk to the beach and the London Inn pub which serves good food. The owner was quick to respond to my queries and she was very helpful. I would recommend this cottage 100%.
