Mr Hartley
A delightful, old cottage, and ticked all the boxes apart from the location. The description should mention the very steep approach and parking, although free, would not be suitable for a large car. Although the beach and shops are close by, it’s a challenging walk back up to the cottage.

A beautiful location and the area is gorgeous! So much to do surrounding the property. Having its own parking space is also really handy. This cottage is not suitable for those with young children or any mobility struggles. The stairs inside are steep and very slippy in a sock or bare feet meaning footwear needs to be worn at all times. Carrying our baby up and down the stairs was quite hairy! We couldn’t enjoy the balcony pictured as it is also very steep up at the back of the garden. Well equipped and a nice sized space but cleanliness was poor but hopefully will be addressed for future stays!
