The cottage is well equipped, comfortable and the outside courtyard is the ideal place to sit and relax outdoors. We had a lovely sunny week and many walks just around the corner in the morning before venturing out for the day. The village of Averton Gifford is quiet and what we needed to get away and unwind.

The decor was so chic. The beds were so comfy. The kitchen was well equipped. It could not have been more perfect. The location is stunning. The tidal road is the most beautiful walk and the area is stunning.

The photograph of the outside does not do justice to how spacious it is inside. The beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen was thoughtfully supplied. The small courtyard garden was a lovely warm, sheltered place to relax with a drink (or two) at the end of the day. Would definitely like to visit again!
