Shambles very comfortable, well equipped, and consideration given to all aspects of comfort. Access to the beach/shoreline is downhill past CWM IVY but well worth the effort even for the less agile. Local shop , opposite, stocked well, friendly local volunteers.

This is one of the Very Best cottages we have stayed in - a truly tasteful home from home with everything you need in a brilliant location. The patio is a sheltered sun trap for breakfast ( lunch if you are still in ) and dinner. Great walks to the Dunes, Beaches & Woods . The Community Shop right across the road has a great range with fresh as wRead moreell. The Britannia Inn with excellent food is just down the road. Hide

Overal, very happy with the cottage, location, views were excellent. Couple of points about cottage - would benefit from some more comfortable garden furniture to sit on. Rusty table & chairs of no use (owners did inform us about these prior to arrival). Garden furniture & patio area generally needed some attention. Garden not totally dog safe, onRead morely patio area. Chicken wire needed across main gate onto the road. Grill pan was dirty/greasy & we were unable use it, we left it as we found it. Hide
