We had a fantastic time here. The accomadation is of a very high standard and 6 adults can stay there comfortably. Great Hot Tub in the garden, but also the 'little things' have been included - all the kitchen utensils we needed, garden furniture, windbreak to take to the beach, iron & ironing board .... You name it, it's there. Just be aware if yo u have little kids that it's about a 15 min walk to the beach/shops/bars. No problem for us, but it might be for some.
Georgia
This cottage was beautiful! We were welcomed upon arrival with 3 mini Victoria Sponge cupcakes which was a sweet personal touch.

Would recommend and we will be going back in the future!
