We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage. The sea views were brilliant, and the place was much more spacious than expected. The host added so many thoughtful touches juice, mince pies, chocolate and more which made the stay feel extra special. Communication was great and they were very accommodating throughout. Highly recommend!

Sharon has thought of everything and has created an impeccable holiday house. Perfect for children and dogs too, with a big enclosed garden, easy access to the park and the beach. Highly recommended.
