Lovely cottage with all facilities you want . Comfortable bed and very clean. Nice touch with the local Gin and tonic and eggs fresh from the farm to greet us . You need a car from this location but you can walk to the beaches and the local pub at a stretch

Lovely welcome from Martin and the family, at this beautiful cottage with views over the countryside on one side and the ducks in their pond on the other. Really comfy beds and spotlessly clean with everything that we needed. Unnfortunately the weather wasn't great but we found things to do and just loved Rhossilli where my Mother's descendants lived.With the stable door it was easy to keep the dogs out the ducks way, though they didn't seem to take any notice of them when I was sitting in the garden.The comlimentary gin and tonics were well received too!Thank you.

We had a wonderful stay at Mallard. Cottage was perfect, and the beds were very comfortable. The hosts were really helpful and lovely (welcome gin and tonics and sweets for the kids). The windows overlooked the duck pond and the children loved watching them. It was a perfect place for a couple or a family (as we were), would certainly recommend.
