A lovely little cottage. Echoing what other people said about parking but if you drive around you can always find a space nearby. Gas fire lovely. Plenty of room for us and our little dog. Well kept garden. Spotlessly clean. Recommend

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Shingle Cottage.
It is in a very convenient location to the many lovely shops & restaurants, & also the harbour & seafront etc. It is well equipped & has everything you need.
The garden is also very nice, with several seating areas.
I only had one issue with it & that was a problem with the WiFi.

An excellent well equipped cottage. It is near to the centre with its small shops and renowned restaurants.
The only snag is very limited on-street parking.
