Great Location, and a great little cottage. It's clean and well equipped, with a smart TV, w/machine etc. The only downside was that there was no external washing line. (although there is a clothes horse). The garden is accessible from the shared path or the first-floor bathroom. Parking - 30 for the week, which is reasonable. Street parking is freRead moree. (If you can find a space) The use of the Kayak was fantastic, with 2 Lifejackets supplied. (The kayak needs to be carried by 2 adults). Hide

Lovely little cottage, clean and cosy with comfy sofas and beds. Surprisingly spacious garden hidden away. Short walk to harbourside and local cafes and restaurants. Only watch out there is no access to the house by car at all. Parking was OK on nearby streets but a bit of a pain for unpacking/packing and one to bear in mind if any mobility issues
