William
. So much space inside and outside including large grounds for playing ball games and other activities. The hosts were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. The location is just a short walk from a local pub for meals and a little further into the village for more options. There are good road connections to other main towns on the coast.

The host met us on arrival and showed us round, she really made us feel welcome. The cottage is very spacious inside with everything you could need for a wonderful holiday. The only thing it would benefit from would be a wall mounted shower head and curtain in the main bathroom.

Beautifully furnished and generally very well equipped, although, as mentioned in the feedback of others, a hair dryer and a shower screen in the main bathroom would be helpful additions. Host, Mary, lives on site and was helpful, friendly and communicative. Really enjoyed our stay!
