Had a fabulous eight nights at Castaway 7. Everything needed to cook. Extremely clean, tidy, and very comfortable . The views were amazing. I can highly recommend spending time here, in fact, booked for the end of December. Christine Smith

The cottage is perfect for 2 (and our dog). Brilliant location, secure parking and you are on the beach in minutes. Could not fault the cleanliness of the property and it was really well equipped with everything we needed for a self catering stay. The location is great - if you wanted to you can easily park up for the week and not think about usingRead more the car with the beach on your doorstep and shops, the pub and a great chippy in easy walking distance.

The pubs were only a five minute walk away but found one was very tied looking and didn't serve home cooked meals as advertised (freezer food!!) the other one does not allow dogs in so you have to sit outside, when we went for a evening meal there expecting to sit outside with our dog only to be told they don't serve food outside!!

Lovely little chalet with great sea views. Fully equipped and very comfortable beds. Nice little welcome pack, tea, sugar, milk but no coffee, but we always take our own anyway!

Absolutely beautiful place. Spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable and very well equipped. High quality shampoos etc in the bathroom. The views of the sea were delightful from a warm and cosy interior. We were greeted with a lovely welcome basket full of goodies too !

Castaways was an ideal holiday destination with your dog.Overlooking the sea and only a short walk to the beach which is dog friendly.The cottage had a fenced in grass area so you can let your dog out safely.The cottage was well equipped and comfortable.Hard floors so no need to worry about muddy paw prints on carpets. We hope to visit again.
