We had a fantastic time. At Dower cottage. It was lovely and spacious. The cottage is very well equipped. I would recommend any body to have the experience we had .the only thing a weekend isn't long enough.
We had a lovely time at the Dower Lodge. It was spacious and clean but the route to the beach was not particularly accessible for anyone who’s mobility impaired.
