Lovely little cottage, clean and cosy with comfy sofas and beds. Surprisingly spacious garden hidden away. Short walk to harbourside and local cafes and restaurants. Only watch out there is no access to the house by car at all. Parking was OK on nearby streets but a bit of a pain for unpacking/packing and one to bear in mind if any mobility issues

This is a beautiful cottage to stay in. Very homely, plenty of space and so clean. The garden was so spacious for our dog.

Lovely cottage where people have really thought about what you might need on a holiday. The views from the main bedroom are beautiful and the garden is a lovely place to sit. You can park at the bottom by the community centre to load and unload and we didnt find the slope to the house too steep.

We have just got home from a wonderful week at Crabapple Cottage. The cottage is brilliantly located - just a couple of mins walk from the quayside. The cottage is clean, well maintained and has everything you could possibly need (including crabbing nets and buckets!) It was a lovely surprise to also find a bottle of milk and of wine in the fridge Read more- thank you! Our cavachon puppy and 6 year old daughter loved the enclosed back garden - as did we on an evening! We highly recommend it!!!! Hide
