Lovely little cottage with a really nice view of the sea.
Lovely little cottage with a really nice view of the sea. Dog loved running around the big garden. Owners very helpful when we had questions. Some nice beaches, takeaway restaurants, and coffee places nearby, though probably not much in walking distance unless you're *super* into hills. Wi-fi was occasionally a bit hit-and-miss, but mostly solid. Really enjoyed our week there.

This was our second stay here and it was just as perfect as last time.
This was our second stay here and it was just as perfect as last time. The beds are comfy, the cottage is warm and well equipped. The location is what drew us to this cottage in the first place, the lack of light pollution brings out more stars than we've seen anywhere else. The views are stunning from the cottage and the whole area is gorgeous in autumn. w3w hours.ample.losing will get you there, not the easiest to spot in the dark on your first visit. Probably a bit short on living space for four adults but for me and two kids 10 and 13 it was fine. All the local beaches are lovely and very different to each other.
