Guests say
The Owls Nest is a bright, modern and spotlessly clean cottage in a peaceful setting, ideal for exploring both coast and countryside. Guests praise its spaciousness, comfort, and dog-friendly features, as well as the helpfulness of the owners. While a few minor improvements such as more towels, mirrors, and window coverings are suggested, the overall experience is highly positive, with many guests keen to return.
Multiple reviews highlight the cottage as spotlessly clean, tidy, and well-presented, with no significant complaints about cleanliness.
Guests consistently praise the location for its convenience to both coast and countryside, peaceful setting, and easy access, making it an excellent base for exploring the area.
The cottage is described as comfortable, spacious, and warm, with particular mention of comfortable beds and underfloor heating. Minor issues such as bed slats and deep sofas are noted but do not detract significantly from overall comfort.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a modern kitchen and good equipment. Some guests mention missing items (extra towels, tea towels, mirrors, blinds, bread knife, cafetiere) and minor maintenance issues, but these are outweighed by the positives.
The owners are described as friendly and helpful, and communication is praised. However, guests note the absence of a welcome pack and some useful instructions, so while service is attentive, extra thoughtful touches are limited. Gifts or welcome packs are not guaranteed.

A beautiful cottage, with a modern finish. Several fields available to walk in at the cottage.A couple of niggles with the bed in the main bedroom, slats fell off a couple of times (the first time even before we had used the bed). Shower tray was not draining properly, but was fixed swiftly once reported. The heating seemed to have a mind of its own, although it seemed to register setting a lower temperature than the 21 degrees standard,the room temperatures were around 21 or higher. If the heating was turned off after a period of time it was chilly, couldn't seem to get a happy medium.Lacked the little things, no cushions on the sofa's. The sofa's are quite deep so needed so that you are not slouching backwards. No bread knife or cafetiere, cutlery was a bit flimsy. No small glasses.
