Clean and comfortable beach cottage

We had the most amazing stay at the Shell Croft, the owner went above and beyond to ensure the property was clean and comfortable. The fully equipped coffee machine was the best addition to the property as well as the outdoor deck which was lovely on warm nights :)

Great getaway for our pets

Very impressive and clean. Great facilities and entertainment stuffs. Chris and Sally are very considerate. The only suggestion is probably to place something near the stove so that my cat could not get beneath it next time and hide inside. Overall, the stay is very worth of the money paid!

Amazing. A beautiful place and a fantastic host that caters for your every need.

The property was amazing. Spotlessly clean and with everything you could want or need for a quiet weekend away. I had asked for a couple of extra things and nothing was an issue. Sally was brilliant to deal with from the outset. I would highly recommend. Had a fantastic time.
