Guests find the beds comfy and the property warm and comfortable overall. Some guests, however, noted that the lounge seating could be improved, and there were comments about the property feeling dark and sometimes damp.

Thank you Everything thought of, even a knife sharpener - so many cottages have the bluntest of knives as no one ever sharpens or has the means to sharpen but a cottage that includes a knife sharpener (and a good one at that) indicates that even the smallest details are cared for.

It was very clean and comfortable. The cottage is in a great position, handy for beaches and town.

The location, parking and the rooms are a perfect size with lots of storage. The beds are comfy and the kitchen has everything you would need. The oven did break but a quick msg to the owner and the repair man came the next day and fixed it. The only downside is only 1 shower as the main bathroom just has a bath. But this wouldn't stop us rebooking again with 6 people staying.
