The owner made us feel very welcome with a lovely welcome pack. The place is finished to a high spec. The feature window in the lounge is spectacular. En-suite in the master bedroom, was a bonus. Light and airy with lots lovely features will make you want to book again. My family absolutely loved the place and we would definitely book again

Perfectly situated for peace and quiet whilst still within easy reach of both coastal and country walks. The village has a shop and a great pub too. The cottage itself was of the highest standard and very well equipped plus the added bonus of a perfectly safe garden for our dog. Absolutely wonderful
