Everything in perfect working order, and a property that appears to be very well maintained and cared for by its owners. I was appreciative of the personlised guide provided by the owners with all advice and information about the cottage, from 'A to B.' Alot of attention to detail, to make it a perfect and comfortable home from home. Beautiful and perfect location, central and not far to walk to harbour front, pub and shops. Magical location in my view, and I hope to be back very soon. Thank you...

Mole cottage was perfect. There was everything you could need. It was so cosy and comfortable, and immaculate. The stairs really are very steep, but hey, it keeps you fit. The arrival gift of a cream tea was a lovely touch. Thankyou.
