The cottage has been renovated to a high standard, is clean, well maintained and well equipped. Thought has obviously been put into the decoration to create a pleasant, tasteful, homely environment. It was also nice to get a welcome pack, including a bottle of sparkling wine, which provided welcome refreshment after a long journey.

Every amenity has been catered for, whilst a small cottage it was well furnished cosy and very clean. Added benefit was the closeness to the beach. We would definitely come back again in fact I could rent it and live there!!
