Lovers of good design and all things beautiful will adore staying here. Every place you can rest your eyes is a scene that is design magazine worthy! That said, the place has a great homely feel. It’s impressively beautiful and functional. The linen is excellent! There's plenty of storage space in every bedroom so we were able to unpack everything and tuck our suitcases away.

Though Ali was out of town during our stay, we were warmly welcomed to Shell Cottage by Ali's partner and the housekeeper without issue. We found the house to be immaculately clean and stocked with everything we needed for a super comfy stay. The secure off street parking is great, especially as the house is so well located (3 min walk to the beach, supermarket, cafes and restaurants) that we didn’t use the car at all during our stay. The house isn’t visible from the street and is very secure. We were blessed with fantastic winter weather and spent a lot of time relaxing outside in the sun with a glass of wine, admiring the garden and view of Lion’s Head. Sitting by the fireplace in the cosy lounge at night we all had that feeling that there’s no place we’d rather be! 
From start to finish Ali and her partner were extremely professional, accessible, informative and helpful. They are definitely committed to the customer experience. We won't hesitate to book with Ali again and will definitely recommend Shell Cottage to our family and friends.
