It is very peaceful in a perfect location with walks from the doorstep, within easy reach of the coast and other attractions. The cottage is very comfortable especially the wonderful bed giving us the perfect night's sleep. It is beautifully appointed and very well equipped, having everything for the perfect stay. Thank you to the very welcoming and friendly owner for the gift of farm eggs.

The was only one tea towel would of liked at least another one and maybe 2 tablets for the dishwasher. Also I suffer with back problems so I would of liked a lounger or patio chair in the garden so I could of spent more time outside. Or maybe just list they are not provided so people can bring their own. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again.

The property is only a quick drive away from the main town for all your shopping needs and close to the main highways so you donât have to travel that far to get going when you want venture out and about. There are also some lovely walks you can take straight from your doorstep which was very handy. We had a couple of minor gripes - the water pressure in the main bathroom was not the greatest and some work is required in regard to the wash basin taps as they were loose and moved when you turned them on and off. The other main issue was the WiFi, it was very good in the kitchen, and in the up stairs bedroom (directly above the kitchen) but awful on the other side of the house where the main front room and TV is located. I would recommend to the owner to install some WiFi boosters around the house as this would definitely help. Overall though our stay was great and we would definitely stay again in the future.
