    “Having a real room for our PA rather than a sofa bed changed the whole week. The step-free beach was genuinely step-free.”

Good to know

We list the barriers as carefully as the features. Read these before you request a stay.

  • Two of the three bedrooms are upstairs. If your whole party needs step-free sleeping, this cottage sleeps two downstairs plus a carer.
  • The beach boardwalk is seasonal. It is lifted in winter storms, so check before a winter visit.
  • The drive is shared with one neighbouring cottage.
