We felt great effort had been put into this cottage to provide us with the best holiday experience we could have. One of the cleanest cottages we have stayed in Well equiped kitchen, gorgeous shower, luxurious towels. Very effective heating. All in all an excellent stay for us. Lovely, helpful owner.

Lovely traditional cottage tucked away. Lovely safe setting for dog. Very peaceful but within easy reach of shops, pubs and beaches. We fell in love with the cottage. It was the perfect base and felt like home. Ray is brilliant. Came and greeted us and made sure we had everything we needed and remained on-call for our stay. We didn’t need to call him - everything was perfect! Would recommend for a lovely, peaceful get-away with access to fantastic places to visit
