The country style kitchen was well equipped. We found travelling to nearby towns very easy and enjoyed the many lovely beaches. We would certainly go back again in the future.

The location of the cottage is quiet and peaceful but provides a good centre for exploring the area. Good WiFi appreciated.

On the one hand, I had the best nights' sleep, hot showers and baths here that I have had for ages; and the owner was helpful and friendly and the location excellent. On the other hand, this was the dirtiest cottage I have ever stayed in; many things did not work or were in a very bad state of repair, and the cottage was very badly equipped. We had to purchase a number of items that we would have expected accommodation to provide, including a cafetiere, as, incredibly, there was no coffee machine or cafetiere or any way of making proper coffee (and we found a revolting mat of hardened instant coffee in the coffee cannister). We also had to buy a wooden spoon as there was none; a set of kitchen scales and a casserole dish, as we discovered that the one in the cottage had a hole burnt in its bottom that rendered it dangerous to use.
