A lovely, cosy cottage in an excellent location with the added bonus of a parking space. You need to be aware that the stairs leading up the the twin room on the 2nd floor have very little headroom. It's fine once you're up there but our 6ft 4in son had to come down in reverse (like a ladder) as it was too low.

A very well equipped and cleverly modernised quaint little cottage which was spotlessly clean when we arrived.

A lovely cottage and very well located, within easy walking to the main street and harbour. We knew about accessing the twin room through another bedroom but for an adult, lack of hanging space and mirror in that room was inconvenient. But otherwise it was charming, comfortable and well equipped. We had a lovely time.

We had a fantastic holiday in this lovely, well equipped cottage.Everything was to a high standard. The only thing I will say is the cottage is not really suitable for the elderly or infirm.

Great kitchen, great location.Car park a little cramped with potential hazard dropping down to ground level. Steppings awkward to negotiate.Lounge and bathrooms lovely. One bedroom fine, but the double is cramped with little scope for storage. Access to top floor difficult for full sized adult. Equipment is fine, TV pixillating on BBC 1.

One of the screws came out of the lock in the bathroom which was very frightening until I found it on the floor and replaced it. It should be made so that if necessary it can be opened from the other side.
