A beautiful place to stay, in a fabulous location. Everything we needed was at the cottage. The views from the living room are amazing and so much activity on the estuary. Good little garden area for the dog. Close to the shops, pubs and bus stop. Couldn't have stayed in a better place. Would definitely come again.

Poor communication prior to the holiday, left several messages with some general questions but no one got back to us. The cottage could do with some general TLC, and as mentioned in previous reviews the frying pan still did not work on the hob. However, the views and the location of the cottage were amazing.
