Lovely setting with good views from decking which were better than expected as description doesn't do them justice. Walk to coastal path was short and easy and not sufficiently promoted. Cosy cottage with plenty of space and nice stove. A great place to get away from it all. However, it does need some redecoration and a good clean.

Lovely cozy well equipped cottage in a peaceful location. Lots of windows framing countryside and coastal views. Lack of phone signal and wifi helped a digital detox. Open countryside on the doorstep leading to the coastal path.

Love the location, total peace and quiet. The garden is great for being outside at anytime and weather permitting and a small moon allows great views of the night sky. There is a lot of local wildlife to watch at all times. It is worth noting that if the fire is used that the log supply will only last around two days and buying small bags is expensRead moreive. I would note that access needs to be taken carefully as the track is not a road. Hide
