Alison was a great host and very helpful. The cottage was as described and very comfortable. The location is also excellent if you like surfing, running by the beach or just a nice walk. Close to some good surfing beaches, cafes and restaurants. The information pack that Alison had prepared was very useful with some good tips on restaurant and cafes. You definitely need a car to get around and see all the nice beaches. . If you let her in advance, Alison will also connect you with a travel agent who would help you get some good deals on car rentals. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend.
