Lovely clean and pleasant cottage.
Lovely clean and pleasant cottage (we stayed in Mill Cottage). Had all we needed for 2 couples, a baby and a dog. Owners responded quickly to minor issues, so no adverse impact on our stay.

Communication was excellent from start…
Communication was excellent from start to finish , from the hosts, to the Communication by tablet in the apartment, always felt someone was there for support if needed, constant support and messages from the hosts before, during and after my stay .
Spotlessly clean apartment, absolutely everything you could need .
Bedding, pillows, towels very good quality which is a must for me , apartment had a fresh clean scent when we arrived, washing up liquid, dish cloth were supplied too which is great .
Apartment was light and airy, tastefully decorated.
Only bug bare I have is that these apartments face a large tall hotel and anyone just looking out the window can see straight into the apartment, especially the bedroom, so kept the curtains drawn most of the time.
As much as I dislike Net / voile curtains they are needed for this particular apartment ( Salty Dog) I did check the windows and fittings were obviously in place for nets but none were up while we stayed last week , and that's genuinely the only issue I'd have .

Little Lobster- small but perfectly formed!
I had a loverly stay at The Little Lobster, there was o my me so enough room. It is small but perfectly formed. It’s fresh, modern, bright and airy. I do think it could be very warm in the summer. I loved sitting in the comfortable chairs and watching the world go by. The sunrise is beautiful over the sea. The kitchen was well kitted out and a pleasure to use. I would highly recommend The Little Lobster to anyone!
