Beautifully clean cottage in a central location, some lovely places to eat along the sea front and harbour, Otto’s was particularly good as was Saltwater, both worth a visit! Torwood had some great features, everything you could need for your stay, fluffy towels, great kitchen and was spotless! The bathroom, again was spotless, has a great shower and was really spacious. The only thing that stops a 5 star review is that the lounge seating area is not big enough for the amount of people stated. So relaxing of an evening together after a busy day was not possible, it also lacked home comforts such as throws on the sofa for when it got chilly. and some board games for a rainy day. The beds were not comfortable at all, really shallow hard mattresses on all of the beds., which is a real shame as these few things would stop us from rebooking. A really enjoyable holiday but a good nights sleep would have made it perfect! I would happily stay again if the beds and lounge seating area were sorted out!
