The cottage is in a good location with views over river with plenty of room for a family of 4. However the tableware was inadequate for the number of visitors in comparison with previous reviews.

The best thing about this property is the amazing view. Its other advantages are that it is quiet, even though it is close to the town, and it has ample parking. It is a spacious, comfortable and well-equipped house which feels like a home rather than a rental. There are lovely walks from the door and the coast is just a few minutes drive away.

We had a great time at the cottage, it was well equipped. There were even a few board games and plenty of books. There is also local maps and leaflets of places to visit.
