So many positives, especially the proximity to the Crail golf courses and the coastline walking trail.The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and the sitting area cozy in a good way!My only suggestion would be to consider supplying a couple of bottles of water since the only potable water is from the cold water tap in the kitchen.I would certainly go back and/or recommend to friends.
