Lovely cottage very well equipped and clean. All mod cons .. at the bottom of a steep hill. If you bring little ones here I would be wary of the busy main rd outside the cottage and the inability to park close by. Parking is on the main car park it’s free with the property about 5-10 min walk away. Not a problem for us .. it’s near to the beautiful harbour and pubs ,shops and restaurants. I recommend you book the restaurants early otherwise you will not get a reservation. We think the salamander was our favourite.
