Attractively furnished and well equipped the quirky cottage, originally old farm buildings, is in need of a little TLC in places. Our dog loved the garden, as did we, and an added delight was picking blackberries to add to our breakfast each day from the lane. Our hosts were very helpful and friendly and, living next to the property, on hand if needed.

Had a great week, weather was unpredictable, April showers with sun on the side. Total privacy, parking, a large enclosed garden for the dogs. Did manage an afternoon in the sun with a cuppa on the deck. The coastal path ran along the back of the garden. Our hosts were very helpful and friendly. A hidden gem for those wanting to escape, but with a short drive to amenities (beaches, shops, bars and restaurants). Would highly recommend.

The fluffy towels and crisp bed linen were lovely. Walking from the front door was an added bonus and the map provided was a great help. Just sitting on the decking on a sunny afternoon and only hearing the sound of birds was so relaxing. The location is ideal for exploring the South Coast. Our only comment would be to perhaps add some drawers in the bedrooms for storage. The instructions sent by the owners on the day of travel giving the actual location of the cottage were invaluable and we would suggest these are added to the Sykes information, as the location shown on the map is misleading. The lane to the cottage is very narrow, but the only encounter we had was with the owner as we were leaving.
