Great peaceful location, away from busy life. Fishing close by. Shops are a short drive away. The let itself is cosy, comfy and beautiful. Inside is all you need for the perfect hideaway holiday. The owners are the most friendliest people we've met. I'd recommend a stay here anytime of the year.

We enjoyed our week in this well equipped and cosy cottage. Anthony was very welcoming and on hand if we had any queries.The cottage is well located for touring the area and there are a number of local pubs offering a range of good beers and food (though none in Freethorpe itself.)
