The cottage was very well equipped and just perfect for a family break. The hot tub was lovely after a day out and Karen and Brendan were very helpful. They even gave us some squirrel food when we said one of our reasons for our visit was to see the squirrels. One did visit the balcony during our stay

We absolutely loved our stay at Red Squirrel Cottage.Karen, the owner, was efficient and informative throughout the booking and building up process and helpful and friendly during our stay.The cottage was wonderfully furnished with tasteful modern decor and all the amenities that we needed and it was spotlessly clean throughout.Our car was necessary to effectively get to places of interest but there was a local bus service and an available taxi service.The cottage was in a peaceful tranquil setting and perfect for unwinding after a busy day of sight seeing.Local restaurants in the nearby town of Ventnor privided food and service of a really high quality and were full, busy and bustling.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return in the future. Thankyou.
