We booked Piddle and Puddle with my parents for a short break, with our young daughter and our dog. The Cottages were perfect., such a beautiful location and the gardens are absolutely stunning. We were very blessed with the weather and the cottages were in the perfect location to enjoy perfect walks and are close to the beach and relaxing in the sunshine. We don't to leave, thank you!

We were totally blown away by the cottage! Everything is perfect - the facilities, the hamper, and beautiful furnishings and atmosphere. We particularly loved The Pig on the Beach and The Thimble Inn, Piddlehinton - great food! But we mainly came for the coastal walks which didn't disappoint!
