Fantastic cottage in a great position. It was better than what we imagined beforehand. The open fire was lovely. We are a family of 5, made up of 3 young children under 7 and it suited us. Many thanks, we will endeavour to return in the future.

The cottage is a credit to its owners, one of the nicest we’ve stayed in over the 20 years or so we’ve been coming to Bay. It’s central to lower Bay and in an ideal position to access the shops, pubs, and beach. The cottage is very well equipped, particularly the kitchen, with lots of pots, pans and utensils. Having a filter/bean coffee machine was an added bonus too. The star of the kitchen has to be the Aga though, pure heaven and a dream to cook on. It cooks joints of meat to perfection. And the open fire was just what you needed after a walk in the snow. We’ve had the best time, thankyou. We can’t wait to come again.
