Children at Coastguard's Cottage 

Kids' play room. Lovely garden with play equipment to suit children of all ages.

This garden is not visible from the house so just falls short of our 5 starfish rating. Nevertheless excellent facilities for children. Travel cot and highchair available on request.

Recommendations

Ideal for families with children who will appreciate the great garden. With two double bedrooms, the Coastguards Cottage also works well for two couples.

Booked with the Harbour Master's House which is just a 30 second walk away, the two cottages will work well for two families holidaying together.

Comments

'Loved the quiet location, the characterful touches around the house and most of all, the hidden garden'

' We spent most evenings at the top of the garden admiring the view and drinking wine - perfect holiday!'

'a really good value property. Thanks for pointing us in the direction of the Coastguards'

'This is the 3rd Coastal Retreats holiday. The dilema for next year is whether to come back here or to try yet another of Fiona's fabulous boltholes. Might have to let the kids decide! They really don't want to go home from here...'

' just wanted to thank you and your team for another great holiday in one of your lovely properties, we think coastguards is our favourite so far.'
