A very nice cottage in a good location
We very much enjoyed our stay at the cottage.
The thatched roof gives the cottage an old world charm, but inside it's actually quite modern. It is bright and airy, as well as warm on the cool spring nights. It also had a dishwasher, so no washing dishes while on holiday.
The host supplied the linen and even left supplies including bread from the local bakery, local farm butter, a fruit bowl and dog biscuits!
The location is very good. It's just a few minutes from the costal path. It's also just 10 to 15 minute walk to the local village. The village has a very nice, dog friendly, pub serving beef from the farms just up the road. It also has a very a very nice cafe that serves great cream teas.
We had a great time at the cottage and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
