This is a fantastic cottage right on the seafront with wonderful views and beaches to explore. Sitting in a large well kept enclosed garden, perfect for our dog to have a little run, and surrounded by plenty of places to visit, the house itself is roomy and comfortable with a lovely log burner and telescope in the sunroom. The owners were friendly and provided all the necessary information. Everything you need for a perfect holiday.
