Great find

Lovely cottage with fully Inclosed garden, beds are so comfortable and bed linen is lovely, about 15 minutes walk to the beach, is a bit smaller than looks in photo but more than adequate, my only thing is the oven tray need to be replaced as really old and burnt, only cooked once. But otherwise would definitely recommend and stay here again.
