Thank you for your review, I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay and am only sorry that the boiler broke and that the first engineer who came out on the Monday thought he had fixed it but on Tuesday it was obvious that he hadn't managed to. Thank goodness they came again the following day and got it up and running. I understand that the wood we gave you for the woodturning stove managed to keep the cottage warm and thank goodness the shower is electric so wasn't affected. We are so sorry that this happened and that you were so understanding about it all and will be in touch with you separately to make recompense.

Cozy well appointed cottage in picturesque location

Comfortable beds, beautiful sheets, nice bathroom for relaxing in after a long walk. Plenty of space for sitting around in the evening. Well equipped kitchen, great views, walked along the beach for lunch at the pub. We loved it.
