"Fantastic stay, the decor in the cottage is very tasteful and it was very comfortable. Fantastic location too close the beach and restaurants. Fantastic view of the steps and abbey from the third bedroom. The only downside is the stairs are very steep and are a concern for children. We told ours not to use them at night (they are 6 and 8 years) and to shout for us."
