Beach Cottage stay
Lovely little place super close to dog friendly beach. Only small but clean and had everything we needed. Suited us exactly for a weekend beach getaway with our dog. Property owner was responsive but not intrusive.

Sweet steps to the Beach
A pre Christmas treat to myself and pup before the full on Christmas schedule was a delight at this pet friendly Gem. I love Somers and had two Christmas festivities in the area so this gem fulfilled with a comfortable bed and beach days to restore the festive spirit.

Simply Brilliant!
We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful little cottage. It was immaculately presented, clean, had everything we needed and was literally 50 steps from the beach. Catherine was wonderful throughout the booking and check in process and we even had a chance to chat one morning which was lovely. We are already looking for a weekend in the near future to return!

If you have a four legged friend, and love long leisurely beach walks, then you should be staying here. Lovely little cottage, with a welcoming host, and close proximity to the beach. We are repeat customers, and will return again next year.
