All the other rooms in the cottage lead off from this room.
The garden overlooks the beach and is a fantastic space to relax and listen to the waves or even have a BBQ.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness
The location is beautiful and the views are stunning but the house itself was really dirty we spent the first 3 days cleaning and washing everything we needed to use including bed linen and bath towels even the washing machine needed cleaning before we could use it witch added a lot of stress to what was meant to be a relaxing holiday

Re-set for the soul

We wanted to relax and this cottage was perfect. The beach is 30 seconds walk, the view is breathtaking. We relaxed, played games, read, talked around the open fire, swam, walked and just chilled. No tv, no screens (although there is Wi-Fi), we detached from the phones and iPads and let our brains breathe. Will be booking again for next year or maybe even during winter. Tony and John were so helpful yet respectful of our privacy. Can not fault the cottage or the area. Loved every minute.
