The cottage was very comfortable with a fabulous view. We had no problem parking, there was a dedicated area for the cottage. We will definitely be back.

We were 3 adults, and so had a room each. The kitchen and lounge are well equipped with stunning balcony views across the fields and sea, the sunsets being a special bonus! We chose this cottage for it's wonderful cliff edged beach, with sand, rock pools and safe swimming. The clifftop walks, birdlife and flora are of great interest to us too. The nearby heritage cottage museum and gardens, and cafe by the beach make this a great attraction for all. If the local authorities could make the beach dog free during peak holiday time, we would welcome this!
