We stayed at Pilchard Cottage as a family of three generations.
We stayed at Pilchard Cottage as a family of three generations. Everything we could possibly need for our stay was at hand from games for all ages and a dog bowl! There was a short walk to the beach and town. We also took advantage of the open top bus to get around and visit other attractions such as Peasholm Park.Pilchard Cottage is ideal for families and I will definitely be back again!
