Guests say
Horsepark Cottage is praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and wildlife-rich peaceful location. Guests enjoyed the well-equipped property, lovely garden, and the presence of badgers. The road's busyness was noted, and there was a mention of a heating issue.
The cottage is consistently described as very clean, with multiple reviews affirming its tidiness and well-maintained state.
The location is appreciated for its wildlife and tranquillity, with easy access to the beach and local amenities. However, the proximity to a busier road slightly impacts the score.
Guests found the cottage comfortable and homely, with special mention of the two toilets adding convenience. One report of the property being cold due to heating issues slightly lowers the score.
The cottage is well-equipped according to guests, but the suggestion for an additional mirror and a temporary heating problem suggest room for improvement.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so this category cannot be scored.

A very comfortable, clean cottage, in a lovely, quiet location. The two toilets are a real asset to the property.It is a great spot to see wildlife, as there are Red Kites, Hares, Deer, and even Badgers.The Badgers can be seen right in the Cottage garden.Just one small additional item that would have been helpful, would have been a mirror hung on the wall in the top bedroom, as my sister had to use the downstair's bathroom when styling her hair, and felt she was blocking the bathroom because of that. Only a very minor thing.Overall we loved staying at Horse Park Cottage.

A wonderful homely very clean cottage. What a lovely surprise arriving & walking in. Far far nicer than the web pictures show. Everything you need. A lovely chilling week. And a Badger ( visitor ) every evening was amazing. A place you don’t want to leave. A Real Gem of a find. Loved, loved, loved it.
