A very well stocked kitchen with all the essentials for home cooking if required. Car parking on site, tight but adequate .Sadly we were unable to access Wi-Fi . Only a short walk to the large sandy beach, perfect for families and dog walkers. Hope to revisit this property. ##### Margaret P.

Great little spot from which to enjoy exploring the local area on foot or in the car. Smart, cosy and well equipped cottage. Sun on the terrace over lunchtime makes it a nice spot to return to from the deli! Effort had been made to put additional cleaning in place this summer, although the PVC covered cushions were rather unappealing! Would have preferred the stair gates had been removed as we didn't need them, and made the stairs feel a little awkward. Otherwise everything was great.
