Really lovely cottage in a beautiful village location. Every detail has been carefully thought about in the cottage. Home from home. Spotlessly clean. Would highly recommend. Great secure garden for the dogs too.

Lovely cottage with original features in the sitting and dining rooms, and a fabulous kitchen extension. The cottage is comfortably furnished, spotlessly clean and with all the equipment you need. The huge enclosed garden was brilliant for our dog. This was our second stay at Owl Cottage and it wonât be our last.

Lovely cottage in great location for local beaches. Very well equipped kitchen and large fully enclosed garden, perfect for dogs. Showers can be a bit fiddly with the shower curtain and it was a shame I wasnât left an initial supply of logs for the wood burner.
