A lot of thought & care had gone into making it a very comfortable & clean property. Kitchen equipped with everything you needed. A really comfy bed too. The only problem for us was the location. It did say down small lanes deep in the countryside but it was very isolated. All the lanes around for a few miles were so narrow no signs or names , no GPS for the sat Nav and internet very intermittent so it was extremely difficult to find your way either to or from the property in the rabbit warren of lanes. For us as an elderly couple this did prove Perhaps location being isolated should be emphasised more .

The cottage is beautiful, super clean and cosy and with everything you need. Itâs so quiet, with lovely views from the bedroom. Weâd highly recommend a stay here, lots to do for walkers and beach lovers nearby. Thanks! Sarah & Neil

The location was extremely private and wonderfully quiet, we were able to sleep with the windows open. There was everything you needed, including maps and information, and the kitchen was very well equipped, everything you could possibly need. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a perfect hideaway, yet close to the coast and beautiful walks. We look forward to a return trip.
