Our 4th stay at Primrose Cottage and it never disappoints. It's small but perfectly formed and has everything needed for a perfect holiday. It's clean, well equipped and in a great location - by the beach and with plenty of walks on the doorstep. Outdoor tap to wash sand off feet - and dogs - really useful and annexe with washer and dryer if needed. Already booked again for 2027.
