A lovely cottage in a lovely location. It is on a steep road, so good for a workout if walking. Good view over the harbour. Quite fascinating watching the tide come and go and watch a variety of birds move in on to the mud & river, even saw a kingfisher using the river. Kitchen well equipped. Only negatives, shower head could do with some attention and only one bin outside, so not sure if the recycling was done correctly.
