Susan Fisk was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. We had a lovely holiday at Appletree cottage. With a short walk down to a beautiful beach and a small shop in the village, it was brilliant. We had everything we needed in the cottage along with being able to charge our electric vehicle and wash our clothes using the washer and dryer on site. We would love to come back again in the summer!

Lovely location, great beach really close by(not accessible if you are not good on your feet), local cafe serves tasty food and nice coffee. Overall the cottage was comfortable but tired, not the cleanest when we arrived with lots of cobwebs. The furniture was a mishmash of dated items and some drawers didn't function well. The electric meter cost us about £6 extra over the week. The owner was lovely and welcoming and laundry is a handy extra given the beach days. Kitchen was well equipped. WiFi was available but very unreliable and 5g signal was patchy too.

Had a lovely stay at Appletree cottage last week. Accommodation was lovely and clean and the owner of the cottages was extremely pleasant and helpful. Only a 10 minute walk to a secluded beach which was perfect for a morning swim ( we even saw a seal )Would definitely recommend and we aim to return next year.
