A very sweet cottage in an excellent location.
The house had absolutely everything we could want or need. Immaculately clean and spacious. It is a simple but elegant cottage. The location across the road from the beach and within walking distance of shops, cafes, restaurants, post office, and medical centre was excellent. The local community are friendly and welcoming. Absolutely perfect for a family holiday or a getaway with friends. The property management offered exceptional and prompt service on every level. Super happy and will definitely book again!
