Mrs Owen
A clean and comfortable house with just two of us there we would not recommend it for four owing to lack of kitchen space

Mr Hedley
The property is well situated with just a short walk down to the beach even if it is uphill coming back! It is also only a short walk to the shopping centre and the restaurants and hotels. The property is a little cluttered in an attempt to provide everything that could be thought of which is largely achieved. The kitchen in particular is very cramped.

The cottage was in a good location and the off-road parking was much appreciated. We found the property to be comfortable and well equipped though it was challenging cooking and serving meals in the small kitchen. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again. The welcome pack was a lovely thought for which we were grateful.
