Stayed Jan 25, 2026Tara Cottage was really lovely and well maintained. We enjoyed our stay very much and so did our dachshund. The location is superb, close to the beach and a short walk or bike ride to town.

Stayed Nov 21, 2025Absolutely beautiful historic cottage in a great location. We loved our stay there and could take our dogs with us too. Walking distance to the beach and main town area. With a light filled room at the back that opens up into a beautiful private garden, it was such a joy sitting out in the mornings listening to the birds. Loved Taras cottage.

Stayed Oct 7, 2024Tara was very picture as had a lovely backyard and was great for my puppies. They were safe and secure there. The cottage had all the facilities we needed. I guess my only complaint was how uncomfortable the lounge chairs and things were to relax on and could’ve done with a bit better outdoor furniture. but on the whole it was beautiful clean and tidy easy walk to the beach and a beautiful town altogether

Stayed Mar 29, 2024Great place and location. A little too much clutter which meant there wasnt enough room for our stuff to go.

Stayed Apr 2, 2024Very interesting to have one end of the house very old and the other quite modern! The bed was comfortable which is always good. My husband is tall and hit his head on the kitchen entrance twice (he is tall but possibly was not careful enough) so an addition of hazard tape/foam might be an idea. The only other recommendation would be a shower caddy to hang over the shower head with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Most B&Bs include this, even if they are inexpensive brands. I'm glad I brought some small sample bottles just in case. No complaints though, just trying to better your accommodation for others.
