Very nice location, in front of the sea in a house from the 17th century. The fireplace and quiet location contributed to the relaxation. The house had an extension from the 70s, there was a kitchen with fridge and freezer, microwave, dishwasher eversee more
Very nice location, in front of the sea in a house from the 17th century. The fireplace and quiet location contributed to the relaxation. The house had an extension from the 70s, there was a kitchen with fridge and freezer, microwave, dishwasher everything you need for self-sufficiency. It wasn't all up to date, but it was functional. We explored the beach and the surrounding area on foot, although there were no signposted hiking trails, there was no traffic either. Gladys (the housekeeper) even provided us with an internet router. There were tips for trips in the area. We will come back.

Wreckers' Cottage - a unique and wonderfully remote getaway.

It was so out of the way and away from everything. There was a lovely feeling in the cottage, like it had stored all the happy memories over the years, and it was beautifully and very individually decorated, with care and attention to detail. Nothingsee more
It was so out of the way and away from everything. There was a lovely feeling in the cottage, like it had stored all the happy memories over the years, and it was beautifully and very individually decorated, with care and attention to detail. Nothing too bijou or flash, very cosy and like somewhere we ourselves would live in.

It tends towards the damp side as it is right beside the sea and there is no central heating - but we were there during wet weather and out of season. When the sun came out it was heaven. A new stove is being installed and that will make it very toassee more
