Shack by the Sea Middleton
The most lovely and quirky cottage filled with warmth and creature comforts. So close to the beach and excellent value. We will definitely be coming back.

Family beach shack
To be honest, we were quite disappointed when we arrived. We were expecting something more comfortable. There is no proper indoor lounge area where you can spread out and relax. The queen size beds are too big for the rooms they are in. It felt pokey and cluttered with family books, magazines and games. That said, it was very clean. The hot water was excellent, the bed we used was comfortable, and all the basic amenities worked well. The washing machine was easy to use. The position is great, being so close to the beach.

Property was clean, nice touch with Xmas tree, no WiFi unfortunately. It would have been nice to know about having to hire sheets and towels otherwise it suited our needs for the visit.
