Had a lovely time away, great location and not too far from the beach. The decor was unique but in a good way. Hot tub and sauna were a great extra, even in the bad weather. A few kitchen things missing to make the experience abit more homely. But overall it was a fabulous relaxing few days away.

Great, quirky cottage. Lovely setting. Friendly staff member who met us. Downstairs bed room no where to hang clothes, no drawers. Bed could be a little higher for elderly to get out of. Pillows in master bedroom need replacing.But all in all had a great stay, would come again and recommend to friends. Maybe take time out and spend a night there looking at what could be a little better yourselves.

We’ve travelled up and down the UK for the last 6 years and having stayed in some amazing homes, Tennox Parlour has beaten them all; so far! The home is absolutely STUNNING and the surroundings of the property is a testament to the owner, and maintenance crew. You truly have to see it in person to witness the attention to detail. Thank you for allowing us to come and make memories that we will never forget.
