The cottage is lovely and has a beautiful garden. It has all the home-like equipment you need plus extras like games/books etc. to make your stay comfortable. Close to the shops but tucked away as well. Couldn't recommend the cottage more.

Gorgeous cottage in picturesque location. Had everything we needed for our stay. Loved sitting out on the deck in a lovingly attended to garden surrounded by large pine trees. So peaceful and quiet for our stay. Perfect place to explore the peninsula from. Made good use of the Bocce court. Would definitely stay here again.
