Gorgeous Stone Cottage on the Seafront

8/10 Good
"We were familiar with the cottage so we were looking forward to spending our time sitting on the front verandah enjoying the sea view. Upon arrival we were very disappointed to find the view completely blocked by Atco Huts ( works being done on the sea wall ). If we had known we wouldn't have booked. A shame because we loved the cottage."
