Great house for a family stay, but dog owners should be wary. Despite the fenced yard, the neighbors were hyper sensitive; they complained about barking after a few minutes. We ended up having to take the dog everywhere with us to avoid further issues, which really ruined the 'relaxing' vibe of the holiday.

This is our third time of staying here. We found everything the way it was last clean and well presented. We were pleased that we were able to bring our dog who enjoyed the garden and the proximity to the beach. One criticism I would make is the getting in and out of the shower it really needs a handle or something to hang on to especially for people like us who are over 80

Absolutely delightful cottage and I would thoroughly recommend. As others have said the pictures don't do it justice. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking equipment, beds are super comfortable, there's a bath, a wood burner (that was very thoughtfully already made up for us to light, perfect on a rainy day), books, games, the beach is a short walk away. We had a lovely time, and I would return.
