This is an upside down cottage with a balcony overlooking countryside with views of the sea and Portsmouth in the distance. Although 5 people can stay here the balcony only allows room for two. The kitchen is excellent, and the wi fi is generally very good. The garden area has a table and seating for 4, but no provision for BBQ. The setting is reasonably remote, and therefore quite peaceful, except for the owners dogs which seem to enjoy shattering that peace all too regularly.a nice pub is a ten minute walk away down a quiet lane. It was very hot whilst we were there, and the bedroom downstairs gets very warm. There is no washing machine in the cottage, but you are welcome to use the owners own when required. Paula was lovely and we enjoyed the stay despite the points raised herein.

Lovely cottage. Second time we've stayed. Very quiet location but there's a pub within 10 mins, a farm shop and a Tesco in 20min walk. Also close to a converted railway line that is great for getting around on. Only negative is the wi-fi is rather slow.
