Lovely cottage with everything we needed for our stay.

The bed was the most comfortable we have slept in which was much appreciated. The owners were very welcoming and helpful suggesting local places of interest and for eating. Although the garden was not totally enclosed there were good areas for dog walking within walking distance of the house. Really good food in the pub across the road and a shop and cafe in the village. We will certainly return.

Excellent accommodation with everything provided that's needed for a comfortable holiday.

All necessary kitchen equipment provided, comfortable bed, lovely bedding and an excellent shower. It's in a perfect location for exploring inland and coastal places. The village shop with friendly staff and coffee & cake is an added bonus. There's also some lovely walks across the local fields, a great way to escape from the stresses of everyday life. Highly recommended cottage with welcoming owners
