The location is highly praised for its short walk to the beach, local shops, and amenities. Some mention parking difficulties due to the busy residential street, but overall, the setting is considered excellent.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as comfortable, warm, and cosy, with comfy beds and sofas. The steep stairs are noted as a challenge for those with mobility issues, but otherwise comfort is a strong point.

Cottage has everything for a comfortable stay. Garden is very pet friendly and area is quite peaceful, the only problem we encountered was the hit and miss parking as the cottage is on a busy residential street. Stairs are quite steep but there is a stair gate at the top so child friendly. It was only a 10 min walk from a gorgeous pet friendly beach which was also ideal for our grandson as well. There is a very good Tesco Express 10 mins from the cottage as well as take aways.
