Lovely cottage with beautiful wooden floors, fantastic fireplace, nice garden and close to the beach. Easy booking and arrangements and fantastic hosts.
We loved staying at this well kept cottage that has everything u need, very clean and comfortable. Close to a great beach, on a quite street. A good sized spa. Left us with good memories. Definitely a holiday destination we would like to repeat.
I just needed a place to get away, rest and rejuvenate. This was just the ticket.
Great, well-appointed cottage, fire place, quiet, easy walk to beach.
Would have stayed longer, if I could.
Thanks for a great stay.
I was so happy with this property, check in was easy, lovely fenced yard for our Jack Russell cross and he was allowed inside which is the true meaning of pet friendly thank you. The decorating and little touches provided a relaxing space to unwind and cook a lovely meal together … we will be staying again and will bring the family!! 🌻🌻

Thanks so much Michelle for such a lovely review! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and we would love to have you and your family return.
Lovely, cozy, pet friendly cottage with a fully fenced yard, large spa bath, comfortable bed and well stocked kitchen with all the equipment/crockery you could ask for. There is aircon in the living area and a ceiling fan in the main bedroom. It also has central heating and a wood heater for cooler weather. And it’s also just a short walk from the beach, which has an off leash area for dogs too.
