Positives: the cottages location with spectacular views of the estuary, the well equipped kitchen area and the outside patio area. The cottage was warm and cosy. Comments: Although there are 3 bedrooms, they are all quite small and space is very tight, even for 4 adults. The twin room is only suitable for young children and there are only two 2-seaRead moreter sofas in lounge area. Negatives: cottage wasnt as clean as we were expecting - very dusty, smelly vacuum and items left from previous guests. Hide

Quite simply we found Waters Edge to cater for all that we wanted: it was as we expected from the pictures, it was warm (radiators timed as we have at home it seems, early morning and late afternoon), it was wonderfully situated and the views were much appreciated. Car parking now 22.50 for a week, simple and straightforward. One can park to unloadRead more/load briefly on Irsha Street close to Ibex Court, but keep it quick! The bathrooms were a hit with the ladies. Weather could have been kinder. Hide
