We had the most wonderful four nights at Ship’s Cottage Annexe. The location is truly outstanding, everything was as we’d hoped and having Timber our dog with us, made it even better. The bed is comfortable and there was everything we needed. Thank you to Kath and Bob. We loved being there.

Had a lovely stay at this fantastic location. The Annex of Ship Cottage was great for the two of us and our dog had a fabulous time running on the beach. It was comfortable and cosy and had everything that we needed. Each night we fell asleep listening to the waves on the shore, and awoke to beautiful views. Thoroughly recommended.(You will need a good 4x4 or a lift down the track from the owners- all part of the charm!)

A magical place made all the more special by its inaccessibility. Kath kindly sent a video of the track to enable us to decide whether we wanted to use our own 4x4, which we did. This cottage is perfect for dogs as it is right on the beach and there are wonderful walks. Perfection!
