A comfortable well equipped cottage in excellent location . Although the cottage does not have its own car parking spot we never had any problem in finding a place close by to leave the car, however could this be a problem high season ?

Very quaint but well appointed 2 bedroom cottage. Lovely feel inside and superb location for the High St and the beach. We loved out stay and would gladly return. Car parking is not available directly outside but there are plenty of streets close by to use. We didn't have a problem. Might be a bit more of a challenge in the Summer Hols.
