A cute and cosy cottage. The location is great, close to the beach and shops. Outings were limited due to heavy rain, but the wood heater made curling up with a book and connecting over board games a special experience in itself. This was our first time taking our dog on holiday and he loved lounging in front of the fire too. He’s a big dog (greyhound) and there was plenty of space for him to move easily inside and stretch out comfortably on the floor. The back garden and patio area look lovely and we hope to come back and make use of them another time.

We have stayed here a couple of times before and again had an excellent stay. The cottage is extremely roomy, clean and the renovation to the bathroom, outdoor decking and laundry just improves the quality of the accommodation. The walk to the main street, docks and park directly across the road makes it a perfect location to relax and enjoy your stay. Been before and won't hesitate to book again, DazandCam

Thanks for taking the time to write such a lovely review. I have to admit we love the location too. Being able to forget the car because the shops, restaurants, ferry terminal and beach are only a few minutes walk away is such a bonus. The ‘upgrades’ have certainly made life easier - glad you approve. Until next time - keep loving life!

Thanks for your review.... two living areas allows for two 'relaxing' areas. The front living area is where the kids spread out ... the front table a great space for playing board games while watching the world go by and we have the option of relaxing in the rear of the cottage with a courtyard view. Everyone's happy!
