We enjoyed our week at Primrose Cottage, plenty of walking & cycling. It was a good base to come back to each day. The cottage was clean, warm & well equipped. We loved seeing the emus & rheas in the field. The only downsides were that we would have preferred there was a washing machine in the property rather than a dishwasher. Also, unfortunately our dog was not happy about the loud bird scarers in nearby fields, but he was fine on the fairly empty beaches. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
