Reviewer said:
"Read Claire’s description carefully as she fully explain the cottage, in our opinion she underestimates how beautiful this cottage is. If you want a fully refurbished modern holiday home this is not it, however if you want to stay in an amazing 170 year old cottage full of character and charm with amazing views and enough facilities for an amazing stay then this is more than perfect.”

Near Beach, National Park, Boats, Golf, Nature, Bird watching. Must write 'giraffe' with booking request to show you've read this. It's to ensure you understand it's historic & basic, though many reviewers say the description is underplayed.

Personal check in: 4pm-9pm. Check out: 11am. No earlier check-in or late night check in, sorry.
