The cottage is quite remote so very peaceful. The owners are on hand though if needed. Plenty of room for two of us and our two dogs with a large, enclosed garden and had the weather been better weâd have sat out on in the garden more. The bed was very comfy and a good power shower, plenty of kitchen equipment and a welcome basket provided, Lots of beaches nearby which are dog friendly and plenty of cafes for coffee and cake. All in all a lovely week away.

Overall the facilities were generally good, but the kitchen and lounge are very small if four people were staying - not too bad for just us two. There are a number of improvements we recommend: - the kitchen and all the appliances (except the fridge freezer) are very poor quality, so should be replaced - there was only one lounger in the garden and the table and chairs were dirty and had seen better days - toilet roll holders should be installed in the bathroom and en-suite - night lights would be helpful (it's very dark if you get up in the night)
