A perfect spot for accessing both town and seafront.
A perfect spot for accessing both town and seafront. Lovely outside seating area at back of cottage which is a real sun trap.Inside, it’s much bigger than you think and rooms are spacious.

We spent a fabulous weekend here and would thoroughly recommend it.
We spent a fabulous weekend here and would thoroughly recommend it. The location was amazing - the beach at the end of the road! Everything in the house was clean and cheerful. It was bigger than we imagined too. I don’t leave reviews but this deserves it! Thank you.
The owners really have thought of everything, all we needed to take was clothes, beach towels and food. Superb central location with lots to do. Highly recommend a stay here.
