    Packed with everything you could possibly need. Dog friendly and huge hot tub. Loved the hamper too. Would highly recommend. It did take me a few drives up and down the village, before I finally found the cottage, with only a name and no number for the sat nav. Just a small point, but otherwise a brilliant stay.

  • Tanya

    The garden was nice and the hot tub was massive and was nice and hot all the time. The coast was only a 10 min drive away and you will also find two supermarkets and a petrol station. We really enjoyed our stay there it was so peaceful just what I wanted for my birthday

  • Matthew

    Well equipped kitchen, nice and cozy. 10 minute drive to the beach ideal for dog walking. Sky TV which was a bonus and the log burner was brilliant. Take plenty of logs as it draws really well. We went through 3 bags and could of used more. Lovely stay for the two of us and our labrador. Excellent
