    “What a beautiful little cottage with an added bonus of the hot tub, which we used twice daily.”

    Location is quiet and perfect for exploring the Salt Path. Was certainly a cosy little sanctuary for us and our Cocker Spaniel. Easy walk to centre and beach and can highly recommend Atlantic fish and chips restaurant plus Moran's Thai. Very relaxing holiday and owners very helpful on arrival. Would definitely highly recommend as can see the sea from upstairs, would also be ideal for a romantic getaway.
