The cottage is centrally heated throughout.  
  
In the kitchen you’ll find all new appliances and your welcome pack on the bright breakfast bar which captures the morning sun—as well as a washer-dryer in the utility area.  
  
The dining area, complete with bespoke seating, includes an extendable table to seat up to six, and is the perfect place to enjoy a meal to celebrate your holiday.

You’ll find miles of beautiful beach just a short 10-minute walk from the cottage (though there are steps—if you prefer a more sedate trip there are two beaches less than five minutes’ drive away).

#### Lovely place, stunning location

Really lovely little place. We were family of five, which is a little snug in the lounge but perfectly manageable. Facilities are all to a high standard. Great location, short walk from a stunning and basically deserted beach, perfect spot to unwind. Thanks for a lovely week!
