Dr Hurst
Our third stay at this well-appointed, clean, comfortable and supremely relaxing cottage. Ideally placed in a secluded location, with a large, private and secure garden for our dog. Close to the forest and coastal walks that we enjoy so much. The welcome pack provided by the thoughtful, caring owner - who is on hand should you need help - is an added bonus. We'll be back!

A wonderful gem! Gorgeous grade II listed turret, roaring log burner and beautiful secure garden for our two hounds. We had an amazing break and will definitely return!

Brilliant place to stay. Gardens were excellent for our dogs, fully enclosed. Everything was catered for by the owners. Best place we’ve stayed for quite a few years, thank you
