We loved Holly Cottage, especially the views and watching the horses and birds. The accommodation is exceptional. We would love to return in summer. The Two Sawyers is worth a visit too. The turkey roast was delicious. Nice friendly staff. We can recommend.

We had a fantastic stay at Holly Cottage. I went with 2 friends and we each had our 2 children with us. The cottage was really spacious - with a lovely big kitchen, separate lounge and dining table that comfortably sat 8 people. The bedrooms - and beds - were really comfortable too!When we arrived there were individual soaps laid out on each bed and we were greeted with a bottle of champagne and pack of after eight mints, which was a brilliant surprise - thank you! We cooked several meals in the kitchen, which was really well equipped. We also ate at the local pub, which was a few minutes walk. We can’t wait to book again when the weather is a little nicer so we can enjoy the garden too. A really brilliant find! Thank you :)

We had a very comfortable stay at Holly Cottage. Pett is an excellent location for proximity to the beach and country park. Proximity to the local pub where excellent food is served is a bonus. We’d thoroughly recommend it and hope to return next year.
