Water view easy access to the beach very close to key trad music venues, friendly host. Alas, both of us did not fit well in the less than queen size beds . Luckily it had two bedrooms.

Excellent location. Wonderful staff. Shout out to Heather and McDonald. The only complaint is that most cottages atleast provide coffee and sugar so that we dont have to go looking for it outside. This place did not have any coffee.
