I stayed here for Christmas week and it was just lovely. It felt very healing. Loved the jacuzzi bath and made my first ever fire in the woodburner. The cottage has everything you need and in a beautiful location not too far down those country lanes, and being only 2 miles from Seaton. Wifi worked well. I did have an issue one night but I got help and it was restored with no further problems. I definitely want to go back :)
