The Dairy is a super little cottage and this was our third stay. It's perfect for a couple, in a quiet location. Situated between the town and the beach, it's an easy/level 1 mile walk to either., plus loads of access to the hills. The cottage has everything you need and the owners are very welcoming. The perfect cosy getaway
