We had a great time, the cottage was amazing wouldn't change a thing, cooking on the aga was lovely and the games room/cinema was perfect. The weather wasn't great but the cosy log burner was just what we needed. The only thing that could be better if ever possible would be a toilet near the games room, but not essential.

A fabulous farmhouse. We loved the AGA. The kitchen is very well equipped, our only thing to suggest to improve would be some larger mugs, for a decent cup of tea! The property is the most dog friendly one we have ever stayed in, with dog beds, blankets, towels and treats provided. The owners are lovely and friendly, they left some great additional treats, special thanks for the birthday balloon, Prosecco, cake and flowers, such a lovely welcoming touch. The beds were very comfortable and good sized bedrooms. The game’s room is a fantastic addition. Great food and service at the local pub The Kings Arms, definitely worth a visit. Beaches are within easy reach for days out. Definitely recommend this property.

Amazing place to stay. John and Kate have thought of everything. We were celebrating my partner’s 60th birthday, balloons, cake and flowers were awaiting on arrival. Such a thoughtful touch. Games room with projector was the icing on the cake. We will be returning. Martin
