Pleasant little cottage close to beach. 2 lovely big bedrooms on a quiet street. Not really walkable to shops/supermarket. Description says 2 bathrooms, but that is not accurate. It has 1 tiny bathroom inside and an outside toilet. The shower is small but OK, however it is a squeeze to get in and out of.
