Despite it being mid July and bitterly cold outside we were delighted as we opened the front door and walked into the cosy lounge room (where our host had considerately started the gas log fire for us). The picture windows in both lounge and dining rooms looked out on to a stunning view of the ocean. It was a perfect home way from home. Barbara even left a welcoming bowl of strawberries and chocolate to sweeten our stay. The rooms were spotlessly clean and comfortable with electric blankets on the beds to keep us warm at night. The kitchen was stocked to suit the needs of any budding Masterchef! We did not have youngsters with us but could see how well they are provided for - we enjoyed table tennis, darts and board games and even managed a game of French cricket in the adjacent park. The only negative was mentioned by the host before we arrived-that was that the water pressure in the bathroom was not great. We were newcomers to the Airbnb experience and would thoroughly recommend this gorgeous cottage to anyone looking for a homely place to enjoy the beautiful environment of Ocean Grove.
