Brenton On Sea Cottages

10/10 Excellent
"Pleasantly surprised with this wonderful lodge. Very clean and cozy cottages. Immaculately manicured grounds. Beautiful sunset views of the bay. An easy walk to the beach. Could certainly benefit with a fan in each bedroom though to mitigate the lack of air conditioning. A cheap investment that would make a lot of difference. "
