Cottage spacious, spotless and well equipped. Enclosed large garden which was well kept and lots of seating. Nearby cafe closed for the winter and local pub reduced opening times so if youâre going out of season be prepared to travel. Would highly recommend.

Although we phoned the no. given and texted the no. we did not receive a response. A kind man in another property helped us out! However, we liked our stay so much we have rebooked for 2025!!

6 adults sharing worked fine. The garden patio area was really good for sitting out and for the baby to crawl around. The high chair and cot worked perfectly. Church bay is such a wonderful spot. The only things that would have been improvements if I was being picky were slightly larger bath towels and a few more mugs as we ran out very quickly. Thanks for a lovely stay.
