Great location but very basic cottage with a general air of neglect -a little tlc would go a long way to bringing this cottage into the 21st century

Great location with fantastic views from the cottage but importantly no mobile signal and intermittent access to the internet.

Great location, kitchen is well equipped, good bathroom and shower. Beautiful view from living room. Nice garden and parking close to the door. We would return if it wasn't for the dampness and humidity in the bedroom in addition to the uncomfortable bed, because it was a very nice cottage by the sea.
