We stayed last weekend in John's cottage and had a really fantastic time. The house is wonderful, so spacious and comfortable and has everything. We were there with our two kids (8 and 4) and our dog and even though the weather was terrible, there was enough space for the kids to play about the house and have adventures in all of the quirky-shaped/located rooms. There was also enough space for us to have relaxing reading time, which was very welcome. The beach is just a short walk and stunning. We wrapped up well in our wet gear and investigated the rock-pools, sea arches and collected cool stones. The communication with John and Mary was very good - they were both very responsive. There was no mobile coverage for my network at all in the house but that suited me fine. I would definitely go again and would definitely recommend.
