We had a lovely stay in this cosy well equipped cottage. It's a great location just a few minutes walk to town centre and harbour, plenty of places to eat nearby. Parking sometimes tricky, but usually could find a spot nearby. Garden is a suntrap, with pleasant decked area to sit in under the wisteria. Stairs are very steep.
