Sweet little beach hut, well equipped but more info needed on the cooking unit re the hobs, we had to get help from the managing agents. Also we never managed to get the oven to work and there was no manual to help, so we relied on the hobs and the microwave. The bunk beds were very comfortable.We enjoyed our stay and the beautiful weather.

Lovely little cottage close to the beach

This cottage is a quintessentially beachside cottage - very close to all local amenities. I think the cottage is more beautiful in person than in the photos on the listing. It appears to have a brand new bathroom and is well-maintained. As others have said, due to the location it is rather noisy so do take earplugs for a good night's sleep. Do note that there is a PARKING PERMIT in the property, so you do not need to pay for parking.

Great stay

The house was great! Kitchen well equipped and a gorgeous welcome hamper that was very unexpected but fabulous. Perfect view from the sofa right through the garden with fields in the distance. 10 minute walk to the beach and a bus stop right outside. We went sea glass hunting and fossil searching with success!
