It was warm, comfortable, practical, homely and was kitted out with just about every thing that you're ever likely to need. We enjoyed the stunning rural views gazing out across the farm and sprawling lands - ideal too for walking our two borders. And Debra the owner was friendly, helpful, chatty and very approachable. All in all probably the best-value cottage we've ever stayed at - and we've stayed at well over a dozen from Cornwall to Inverness!

The property is clean, warm and comfortable with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The setting is perfect on a lovely busy working farm surrounded by gorgeous scenery and fabulous walks for the dogs and close to the beach and seaside amenities. The hosts are very friendly and helpful but not intrusive. I will definitely return sometime soon.

Just the right location for us. Close to amenities but still nice and quiet. Very well equipped cottage. Beds very comfortable.The owners were welcoming. When we had a problem it was dealt with very quickly. We are definitely going to stay again. The welcome pack was also a lovely touch.
