Second time staying at this cosy cottage and it didn't disappoint.
Second time staying at this cosy cottage and it didn't disappoint. Location is fantastic with beautiful sea views. Restaurant and cafe close by and seashore walks are on your doorstep. Excellent enclosed garden especially for dogs. Internally everything you could need is provided, even a bottle of prosecco on arrival! Host communication is great too. Highly recommend.

We had a great stay in the now named Swanview Cottage.
We had a great stay in the now named Swanview Cottage. Everything you need was in the cottage. It is very dog friendly. The location was amazing. Front gate, grassy land then the beach. Maidens is a quiet, peaceful location with a local shop and restsurant. Pat was lovely and caring when a bad storm was forecast she checked in to make sure I was ok. Would definitly come back.
