  It's set right back from the road and can be easily missed.

  Walking in I thought I was walking into a church as it smelt like one, that's not a bad thing as it's an old property. We soon settled in and felt at home. There's plenty of crockery, cutlery, glasses, pots and pans and utensils. The welcome pack is a nice touch and was very much appreciated. We only used the lounge once as we preferred the dining room, it was nice to sit round the table, eat, chat, drink and play card games. There's a two seater sofa and two chairs if you get fed up of drinking and playing cards lol. The wood fire makes it cosy but got too warm as the heating was set ( September) £5 per bag thereafter the first lot free. The hot tub takes around 4 hours to heat up ( you must stay with it to keep stoking it up ) but was fab when we got in it. There was 7 of us, me and my husband, daughter and Son-in-law and 3 grandsons 22, 16 and 14 and I must say the games room was a godsend as we had so much fun in there on rainy days. There's a utility room with washer, dryer, ironing board and iron and a high chair also a mop and bucket which came in handy for the downstairs shower room as the shower doors leak but we soon learnt to face the shower head away from the doors. We didn't bother with the TV as choice of what to watch was poor so as I said earlier we lived in the dining room. It sits at the mouth of Mach Loop ( which excited us ) but only saw 2 aircraft, better than nothing I suppose. All in all this cottage is a little gem with a lovely cosy feel and we would return in a heartbeat. It's not for people who aren't very mobile as there's nothing round it but walks and stunning scenery It definitely gets a 10/10 from us. It would be nice if the owner could get together ( if known ) the history of the cottage like when it was built and the stages of it's life up to present day. I'm sure lots of people would find it an interesting read.

  The cottage was great but let down so badly with the cleanliness.

  We had to clean on arrival before starting our break which we shouldn’t have to do. The main living room smelt of dogs/urine and black hairs all over the floors and sofas. We had to empty the hoover as it was so full it wouldn’t suck up which wasn’t pleasant. The sofas smelt and were dirty. The blankets left under the table were dirty and full of dog hairs.The top right grill was thick with grease so when we used it it would smoke and smelt so we couldn’t use it. The dishwasher filter was thick with grease so we had to clean that also. The washing up bowl was greasy so we cleaned that. While hoovering the sofa in the snug room we found a dirty hairy sock behind the cushions. Chocolate bar and empty wrapper found in one of the bedrooms. The en suite fan didn’t work and the mattress springs have gone on one side. We understand it is dog friendly which is great but it needed so much more of a clean especially as it is dog friendly and dog hair everywhere is not nice. Once we cleaned the cottage ourselves it was great. We loved the hot tub and views and the cottage was beautiful just let down by the cleanliness unfortunately

  The cottage is in a good location.

  Only 10 minutes walk on the flat to the beach and the pub! The beach is dog friendly all year and there is sand even when the tide is in! The instructions to get to the house should be updated to say go down beach road and its the first left as the postcode on Sat nav doesn't take you close to the house. The house is spacious with room for 8. The rooms were all a good size. The main room as really nice on its own floor. There are two gardens one near the house which is fenced in. The other is near the hot tub and wws open. The hot tub is good and really big. The games room is brill as well. Neighbours are really friendly as well. A few things that could have been improved...The house could do with a bit of a decoration update. The main bathroom could do with an update of tiles and shower to make it a nice walk in shower. The dishwasher was rubbish at cleaning the glasses. Also could do with making the hot tub more private as it's open to the road, a screen would help. The conservatory leaked when it rained from the middle of the ceiling. We really enjoyed the holiday and the house.

  Overall, we had a great stay, however there are a couple of things I think the owners should be aware of.

  The location and accommodation was great, and suited our needs perfectly. Showers - both showers were hopeless. The temperature control is either cold or scalding, with very little inbetween. The water pressure is also poor. When you've been out walking, or even just in the hot tub, you want to come back and have a half decent shower. This is the main thing that would prevent me booking again. Cooker - again, this was hopeless. Everything took so long to cook, which for a family of 6 is less than ideal. Finally, the cleanliness - there were cobwebs/dust in the top bedroom and bathroom. However, all of that said, we had a great half term. All of the beds were comfortable, and the hot tub and games room were well used. We played lots of games at the big farmhouse table, which was great. Having the beach so close was such a treat, and would be awesome in the summer!!

  What a lovely holiday house this is!

  Received a lovely email before arrival explaining our arrival and anything we needed to know. On arrival we were greeted with a wonderful afternoon tea that fed us all (8 of us) for our tea and with cake to spare for the rest of the week! House was beautifully clean and everything we needed was supplied from toilet rolls, to bedding and dishwasher tablets etc. it was a lovely refreshing change to go to a house that had so much care put into it. The owners were so lovely on our arrival but we didn’t feel like they were intrusive at all but we knew they were there if we needed anything. House was the perfect size for our group, lots of spacious bedrooms and living areas. The view was breathtaking and the hot tub at night was perfect to look at the sunset. Will definitely be returning here again in the future.
