Had everything we needed. Just across the road from the beginning of the coastal walkway. Really enjoyed the deck area. Perfect for all of us, including our small dog.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our excellent location—it’s one of the things we’re most proud of, and we’re glad it made your stay even better. We’d love to host you again next time you’re in the area.
We found the hostess lovely and the cottage pleasant to stay in. Beautiful garden and great that our dog was welcome too.
Comfortable sized cottage feel but we found the couches a bit hard and on quite a busy road. But great to be so close to the seafront.
Lovely welcome on arrival with a genuine acceptance of our 2 dogs.
Wonderful and comfortable cottage.
Nice surrounding walkways.

Loved this property and enjoyed the little personal touches our host provided. The chocolates, the jigsaw puzzle and the prepared wood burner were all appreciated.

We enjoyed this accommodation very much. Sunny, handy, comfortable and well equipped with some appreciated little touches - like the caramels in a little bowl - all gone now!!
Clean beyond expectations. Quiet location. Couldn’t ask for anything more than what our stay offered us .! Host was friendly but unobtrusive. Thanks Mike and Liz .
Ekhaya, hosts and house were great for what we needed while renos being done at our own place locally, and it was a perfect, comfy, cosy and enjoyable week for our aged fur baby. Thank you for all your consideration, most appreciated. Can well recommend Liz, Mike and Ekhaya
