A beautiful cottage, very well equipped, you literally just need to take yourself and clothes, everything is provided. It's very well maintained and spotlessly clean. If you enjoy walks it's a perfect place to stay.

Stunning property. Had everything we needed and felt like home. The garden was safe and secure and gave us piece of mind to let our dog just do his thing. Lots of guides provided for loads of walks too. The locals were lovely and made us feel right at home (and the local pub is a must visit for food)

This is a beautiful cottage with a large/clean shower and comfy bed! It provided a lovely base to explore the surrounding countryside and beaches. The stair gate was an helpful addition in managing the dogs and a small, secure garden meant they were safe at all times from the nearby road.

The local pub really friendly and well priced (also allows dogs). Really enjoyed comfortable king size bed, spotless clean and felt at home as soon as you walk in.
