I would not recommend this cottage, it was very dirty and in a bad state of repair. It had damp and peeling paintwork and the carpets were badly stained. The lounge especially smelt terrible and it wasn’t a place you would walk around bare foot. Yes it’s dog friendly but even so you expect a certain level of cleanliness.

Cottage was in a great position for beach and amenities. The only issue was the cleanliness. I found a bowl of food in the microwave. Used toiletries were left in bathroom. I had to unblock the drain as courtyard kept flooding. Carpets need a clean. That said I had a lovely relaxing week in the cottage. A good nights sleep in a comfy clean bed. Next door neighbour was very friendly. Would be nice to have known about shared access as I was a bit suprised to see him walk past the french windows on my first evening. Lovely part of the world.

The cottage location is brilliant, a stones throw to the village and beach, then a sort walk to the stunning observatory! The cottage was very clean and well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay! The stairs are a little steep, no problem for us but maybe for less mobile guests. We enjoyed our stay thank you 😊
