"We stayed for 4 nights, a family of 2 adults, 3 children and 2 dogs,The cottage itself was just about acceptable but the driveway was ridiculously tight. I drive around 1000 miles per week and I'd class myself as a decent driver and I struggled with it.The lighting on the drive is poor and it's no more than a cars width wide. It's certainly a fire hazard in my opinion. Due to the nature of the driveways width and lighting I happened to clip my wing mirror causing damage and as my wife was telling the owner (we weren't complaining to her) all that the owner was interested in was making sarcastic comments about us slightly damaging a fence panel.Back to the cottage, parts of it are in desperate need of renovation. An internal door handle is snapped off and my daughter sliced her hand, another thing that we let go as we were really looking forward to this break as a family.We've stayed in many cottages before and I've never written a review of them as it's not my thing, but I feel the need to warn people of this place as overall my view of it is not good at all. I happened to by chance google the "cottage" and to my surprise it came up as one of booking . coms locations, so the owners are obviously also advertising this on there as short stay accommodation to people like sub contractor workmen in the area. It's certainly not the cottage break that we were expecting.There are plenty of other decent places to stay in the area and my advice would be to avoid this place at all costs."

"The cottage was fine downstairs, rustic, clean and comfortable, and the country lane outside was delightful. Upstairs, things were different. The conversion to a cottage meant that the height between bedroom floors and the sloping ceiling were ridiculously low. The only position where I could stand up straight was immediately under the apex, and I'm only 5' 9". I couldn't get into or out of the right side of the bed, (facing away from the headboard) as the ceiling was barely 3' 6" high measured 12" from the bed. My wife and I spent the week bending awkwardly every time we went upstairs, frequently banging our heads and cracking our shins on the wooden frame and furniture whilst concentrating on the ceiling. Sadly, the delightful country position and pleasant walk to a superb inn in the village couldn't compensate for the upstairs. We maintain that the conversion should never have been allowed. It should have been clear that it would result in the present unacceptable, and dangerous for heads, upper floor."

"Just come back from the most enjoyable stay at Sunset Cottage. It was absolutely stunning inside and out. There were lots of little touches that made it feel like home. The beds were very comfortable and everything smelt so lovely fresh and clean. You can see how much effort the owners have put in to make it homely and confortable for people. The little welcome pack with some goodies was a lovely touch and very much appreciated. The owners couldn’t do enough for us and checked if everything was ok and answered any questions we asked. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t too kind so we didn’t get to enjoy the chairs and bbq in the garden, but my children loved playing in the garden, and the view across the sea was amazing so we were regularly out there taking it all in. We had such a lovely stay and our children loved that house, it was lovely to spend the week in such a wonderful house."

"This is our first time at Sunset Cottage and it won't be our last !! The house is absolutely beautiful, it's warm and cosy and has everything you need in a home away from home ! The pictures don't do it justice and wait till you see the garden , we ate out on the patio in the morning and evening and planned our next day walks and outings over a glass of wine and watching the sun going down ! It's a brilliant location and the owners couldn't do enough to make sure we had all we needed even to providing the addresses of the local supermarkets , restaurants and friendly bar just a few steps away . We all arrived home this evening and will definitely tell our family and friends all about our stay in the next few days , roll on next year !
