Beside the Sea Cottage.

Really enjoyed our stay at Beside the Sea. Lovely cottage, prettily decorated, and comfortably furnished, with ample storage for clothes. Very clean, large shower room with lovely white towels. Kitchen had all the equipment you need. Laundry room really useful. Quiet location with lovely shop nearby selling great local produce. Had homemade apple cake with clotted cream and enjoyed it with a coffee and tea in the little garden attached. Great location on cliff by Eype beach. Lots of lovely walks on to be had including to West bay. Narrow road to and from chalet, not for the faint hearted, but drivers and walkers all very considerate and careful on the road.
