Unfortunate altercation with next door neighbour to left facing cottage nearly ruined holiday. Just ignore him. All other locals very friendly. The Unicorn pub very dog friendly and offer Sunday roast in bowl, our Lab thought he was in heaven! Weather rather precluded use of hot tub. Car charge point very useful. Owners very helpful both prior and during stay.

We had a fabulous family break. We were so lucky with the weather which was great and so we had lots of al fresco dining which was just as well because 6 adults at the breakfast bar was snug . The facilities were amazing and there was nothing we needed in the kitchen that wasn’t there. The garden is a great sun trap with some lovely trees which offer some shade and of course we got good use out of the hot tub. The nearest beach is lovely and the local café sold delicious ice creams and coffee.
