Guests appreciate the peaceful setting, proximity to a local pub, and the thoughtful touches for a comfortable stay. While some noted the decor is dated and minor maintenance could enhance the experience, the location and serenity more than compensate, making it a favoured getaway.
The cottage is generally described as clean, with one review suggesting a deeper clean could improve the experience. However, the overall impression is positive, with mentions of cleanliness and provided amenities for pets.
The location is highly praised for its beauty, proximity to the beach, and peaceful surroundings. Guests enjoy the local walks and wildlife, making it an exceptional spot for a tranquil holiday.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, especially for couples and their pets. The presence of throws, towels, and a stair gate add to the comfort level, although some feel the furnishings could be updated.
The cottage is equipped with necessary facilities, but some guests note that it could benefit from repairs and a refresh in decor. The mention of a 'lovely arrival box' indicates some additional amenities are provided.

Very comfortable cottage for two right next to beautiful beach perfect for the dog. Short cross country walk to the village and excellent local pub. We'll be back.

Lovely cottage, in a lovely location. A bit dated in furnishings and decoration. Location was what we had wanted, a short walk to an empty beach. Didn’t realise there would be so few places to buy groceries close by.
