We were going to be arriving late, so we rang to let them know. We received a cheerful response saying this would be fine. The unit was very clean and warm. It was fully set up with all utensils and appliances. Although it wasn't required it was good to see the unit including the bathroom facilities were accessible to disabled people. If we return to the area we would certainly return here and also recommend Bay Cottages. ##### Raymond Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica 5 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Lovely place to stay. ##### Jessica Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Theresa 2 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Great place to stay, provided everything we needed, friendly hosts. ##### Theresa ### 8/10 Good #### Bernard 3 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Enjoyable and convenient stay near dolphin, orca and seal watching. ##### Bernard Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Martin 25 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication nice stay ##### Martin Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian 14 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Great, spacious stay, across the road from the bea Great, spacious stay, across the road from the beach. ##### Brian Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 3 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Cozy sea view cottage Great location, clean comfortable and well appointed cottage! ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Camille 26 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Quiet, clean, friendly helpful hosts, located right across the street from the ocean.
