We recently stayed here with my partner and our two dogsand honestly, we loved it! The location is stunning, right by the seaand the place feels really high-quality and safe for pets. The kitchen had everything we neededand the welcome pack with wine and treats was a lovely touch. We enjoyed the walks right outside and the hot tub was a real bonus. The only tiny gripe was the shower's low water flow, but overall, we're definitely coming back!

We really enjoyed our stay! The cottage was beautifully decorated and had all the essentials we needed. The big windows offering a lovely sea view were a highlightand the outside seating area was perfect, especially at night with the colourful ceiling lights - such a clever touch. It was a bit chilly, but a jumper and blanket did the trick. Our dog Alfie loved sitting outside with us, thanks to the secure enclosed area. Overall, a fantastic little getaway!
