Carpenters Cottage is a delightful flint cottage of great character, dating from C1850. Situated in a quiet access only lane between the cliff and village (both approx 2 minutes) an ideal retreat for both summer and winter holidays. Perfect for both young and old, the beach below has wide uncrowded sands, ideal for families. There are delightful cliff and woodland walks.
