The location is frequently highlighted as excellent, being close to the beach, coastal paths, and local amenities. Some guests mentioned traffic noise, but it did not significantly detract from the overall positive feedback.
Reviewers find the cottage warm, cosy, and comfortable, with special mentions of comfortable beds and a cosy atmosphere, suggesting a high level of comfort.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the modern kitchen and bathroom. However, a minor issue with the TV not being internet-linked and comments about parking and garden access suggest room for improvement.
