Absolutely stunning cottage set in the most beautiful location right on the sea.
Absolutely stunning cottage set in the most beautiful location right on the sea. Property is finished to the highest quality and standard and has everything you could need when staying in a rental. Alan and Ann were wonderful hosts providing lots of local information. The cottage is in a great location with lots of places to visit within a short drive. The outlook from the windows is beautiful- lots of local wildlife can be seen. Very pet friendly. Would highly recommend.
