The cottage was a lovely place to spend a Christmas break. It was clean on arrival and warm. The kitchen was great - having a washing machine and dishwasher were great additions. The cottage is perfectly located with a little shop within a 1 minute walk, plus a pub, fish and chip shop and more 2 mins away by the beach/ sand dunes. Perfect area for walking dogs. The only downside for us was the garden which, while a wonderful size, had fence areas, particularly directly outside the kitchen which were only a foot high (and led into several back gardens, not just one) and so most breeds of dogs could jump over at the sight of a cat, child playing with a ball next door etc... We'd visit again, but only out of season when we suspect people won't be in the gardens next door.
