“Beautiful pet friendly cottage”
This really is a case of the pictures not doing justice!!!! This beautiful little cottage sits on a hill overlooking the ocean, with complete privacy. The courtyard garden at the front is a perfect size, with a table and benches, allowing you sit and enjoy the spectacular view while drinking your morning coffee, or evening glass of wine. It was completely fenced, which was great for our little dog. The house was very comfortable, immaculately clean, and had everything you needed including a welcome pack. The owners were lovely to deal with and answered all questions very quickly, infact Sue ordered lovely weather for our stay!!!! If you go into the town the fish & chip shop is incredible and well worth a try. We loved our stay here and our only disappointment was that we couldn't stay longer. Thank you to Perry & Sue for sharing this little gem.
