Other things to note
This beautiful period fisherman's cottage is compact in its size but full of charm and character. Please note that as with many cottages built in this era, the steps to the 1st floor are quite steep, care needs to be taken. Please note the gas boiler is installed in the second upstairs bedroom. We do not offer storage space for bicycles inside or outside the cottage as the courtyard is shared with a neighbouring property. Guests will need to arrange their own storage for bicycles. Please check the photographs before booking.
