It was comfortable and warm. Sea glimpses from the balcony meant I could check the waves before going for a swim. Supermarket a few steps away. We would recommend this cottage.

We enjoyed our stay the 11a had everything we would want. Two things to note double bed is very soft, car parking in the street is challenging especially on a weekend. But the sea front car park at the end of the street is free 6pm to 8am and reasonably priced at other times
