Directly across the road from the beach with a walking path along the shore that’s all dog friendly. It’s a beautiful, peaceful location. The cottage was very comfortable and we appreciated the modern renovations inside, especially the enormous bath. Having the choice of a wood fire or heat pump is great. Highly recommend. ##### Nicole J.

This has to be one of our most enjoyable weekends away. A beautifully maintained cottage with lights and heaters on greeting us on arrival.

What a wonderful stay we had at Castaway Cottage. It is absolutely perfect for humans and dogs especially, with a perfectly fenced yard. Thank you for allowing us to have our dogs with us, the polished floorboards throughout made it perfect for the pets and very easy to clean. The huge bath was a bonus. Beautiful linen throughout. What can you say about the view? Absolutely perfect, just across the road from the beach. Such a perfect stay, we will definitely be back. Thank you! ##### Fiona C. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Novotel London Heathrow Airport - M4 Jct 4](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Novotel-London-Heathrow-Airport-M4-Jct-4.h17812.Hotel-Information) > > [Romantic Hotels in Bali](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Bali-Romantic-Hotel.0-0-d602651-tRomanticHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotel Longchamp Elysees](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-Longchamp-Elysees.h1337848.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Wien](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vienna-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Wien.h23687.Hotel-Information) > > [Adventurer's Village Milton Keynes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Milton-Keynes-Hotels-Adventurers-Village-Milton-Keynes.h19236672.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Retreats at Butterstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunkeld-Hotels-Country-Retreats-At-Butterstone.h24982382.Hotel-Information) > > [Afon Gwyn Country House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Betws-Y-Coed-Hotels-Afon-Gwyn-Country-House.h18524301.Hotel-Information) > > [Skiathos Princess Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skiathos-Hotels-Skiathos-Princess-Resort.h3735252.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Mojacar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mojacar-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d182349-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Exeter](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Exeter-Hotels.s50-0-d1185.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Lewes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lewes-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d4676--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Welikehotel Triton Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Capdepera-Hotels-Hotel-Triton-Beach.h11502215.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Herne Hill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Herne-Hill-London-Hotels.0-n3000662740-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Travelodge Hotel Hobart](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hobart-Hotels-Travelodge-Hotel-Hobart.h997617.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Bucharest City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bucharest-Hotels-Novotel-Bucharest-City-Centre.h1465703.Hotel-Information) > > [Korumar Deluxe Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kusadasi-Hotels-Korumar-Deluxe-Hotel.h1862129.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Makronissos Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makronissos-Beach-Hotels.0-l6180371-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Dog Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Halstead-Hotels-The-Dog-Inn.h4125588.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Burgas (BOJ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/boj/manchester-to-bourgas) > > [Jet2 Bishop's Stortford (STN) to Sant Josep de sa Talaia (IBZ) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/jet2-from-stansted-to-ibiza/ls/stn/ibz) > > [Flights from Nairobi (NBO) to Mombasa (MBA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/nbo/mba/nairobi-to-mombasa) ### Cars > [Alamo Rent A Car Car Rentals In Northampton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alamo-Rent-A-Car-Car-Rentals-In-Northampton.d9244-c6.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Packages > [Hankley Common Golf Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hankley-Common-Golf-Club-Farnham.d6258221.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Nevada](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nevada.dx230) > > [Visit Pulau Perhentian Besar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pulau-Perhentian-Besar.dx6144981)
