Plenty to do and see within a short drive of property. We had everything we needed and the owner contacted us with parking information which was very helpful. Property is close to seafront, shops, pubs and restaurants. Loved it.

We spent our first night watching the sun set, sat on the pier, eating fish 'n' chips. It's in a very convenient location with easy access to everything you need. Anne-Marie was helpful with parking suggestions and a lovely welcome treat. The cottage was fresh, comfortable and well appointed. Our kids loved the den and made use of the good selection of board games. Would definitely stay again.
