The cottage is ideally located for either visiting the city or taking a walk on the beach. The accommodation itself was very well presented, very clean and homely. The bed was very comfortable and street noise and lights were not noticeable. Parking on the street was also very easy, always had a space in front of the property. The owner was in contact on the first day to ensure we were settled in, and there was never a reason to contact her again because the cottage was so well maintained and equipped. Would definitely book here again, if we were visiting the area. Ta, Pete.
