Surf Cottage

Introduction

We aim to meet the needs of all of our guests, however, the property is set over three floors so this can make access for guests with limited mobility difficult and the cottage is unsuitable for wheelchair users. Guests with limited mobility are advised to continue reading the access statements for more information on each cottage, and call the Cherished office if you need any further details.

Surf Cottage is located on a level road with moderately level access to the shops, restaurants and beaches.

The kitchen/dining room are located on the ground floor, the lounge on the 1st floor and the bathroom and bedroom on the 2nd floor.

Up to two medium sized dogs accepted.

Contemporary art throughout the cottage.
