For the size of the cottage, the price was far too high although location was excellent. Also despite comms being sent to original cottages about a dog next door that wouldnt stop barking throughout our stay we had no response from tou and assume we wont get one again. We also had to change this booking prior to this cottage due to very poor communRead moreication on your website regarding a property that had building work going on at it during booked dates. That should be obviously highlighted on your website and it wasnt. Hide

Beautifully fitted out, landing at top of first flight a little dangerous but difficult to see how it could be improved, similarly washing machine and dryer would have been handy but appreciate difficult to find room in that size of kitchen

A gem of a find ! Home from home, with all the creature comforts you need. A stones throw from shops, restaurants and the beach, but still peaceful and relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and did not want to leave. We will definitely be returning.
