Everything was spotless and we found all we needed for our self catering break. V. Comfy bed, plenty of storage space ( especially as we brought far too much ,as usual) . V. pleasant decking to enjoy a cuppa or two outside.

On entering the cottage you can't fail to be stunned by how perfect everything is and the way the cottage has been built incorporating the local geology is impressively amazing! We throughly enjoyed our stay and the location is so convenient for accessing so much to do in the area. The hosts were very friendly and the goodies they left for us was very much appreciated! Although close to the A40 we very quickly zoned it out and it became similar to waves crashing on the beach!! We fully recommend this cottage!
