Great winter getaway
Stayed for 5 nights in June. House was spotless, had all you need and very cosy. Lovely garden, especially the little sheltered front seating area, a real winter sun trap. Only a few minutes walk from beach access and lots to explore!

A wonderful Getaway
Shell Cottage is an amazing place. Communication with the owners was very clear and they even touched base during our stay to check that everything was satisfactory. The cottage was clean and our dog loved exploring the gardens. The cottage had a spa bath and large outdoor setting which was great for relaxing. We definitely recommend and would love to go back soon.
