Fantastic Cottage in a great location

This cottage was absolutely great and we had an amazing time. The location is superb for exploring the area with easy access just off the A1. The owner was very helpful and always responded to messages. We would definitely stay again.

The property was nicely furnished and spotlessly clean. We found everything we needed in the kitchen - it felt like a home-from-home. It was a perfect base for exploring a beautiful area. Wouldn't hesitate to book again when we're next in the area.

Lovely stay

Nice modern spacious bungalow. Well equipped and comfortable. Good communication with Iain- especially helpful when we had problems with the internet/ tv. Might be useful to have some instruction manuals for the tv, microwave etc. Handy location for the A1 and for accessing the beautiful beaches. Would definitely return.
