This cottage is in an exceptional position with beautiful views from the lounge and balcony across the estuary. Having 3 ensuite bathrooms was excellent. The central location is perfect.

A lovely peaceful place to stay, considering how close to town it is; with fantastic views to look out on, even in the rain! We had April winds and showers but the home was cosy and warm. The wi-Fi worked well and the keyholder was able to give us instructions on how to find the garage, which luckily our small car fitted into. He also called in to Read moresay hello and see how we were settling in; a lovely friendly welcome along with the welcome pack. We had to buy dish cloth, washer tablets and kitchen roll, otherwise it was well equipped. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will hopefully return in the future. Hide
