Before we arrived the owner made contact and ensured we had everything we needed . She even guided us towards the local events in the area tht week. On arrival at the cottage it was warm, clean, feaures and fittings were of a high standard. there was everything that we needed in the cottage for a 3 generational family. We all felt comfortable and as though we had gone away to a little luxury. The welcome pack was greatly appreciated. The area was within walking distance of a beach and close to other local attractions and amenities. Thank you

Owner was helpful when we had difficulty erecting a travel cot. Property was clean, well presented, parking close by, and very quiet location. Would recommend this holiday property.
