Sep 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Getaway Delight This holiday cottage was just perfect for grandparents , two grandkids and a privileged pug. ( the owners kindly allowed her to be indoors ). The yard was fully fenced and safe for both the kids and the dog. Outdoor seating space was perfect for the grown ups. Place was spotlessly clean with a relaxed beachside charm. Very well stocked with crockery, , glasses, cutlery etc and located close to a delightfully safe beach. Owners were very accommodating with an early check in. Highly recommend this place and definitely would stay again…… ##### Sue E. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Leslie M.
