It was a fantastic size and suited myself, mum and 4 year old perfectly. The garden was a nice size and secure for our two miniature dachshunds. When we first entered the house you could tell the heating had been on, it was lovely and warm and really hit you. The heating didn't come back on though, we tried to override it as per the instructions but nothing worked. It did get a bit cool in the evenings but there was 2 plug in heaters that kept us warm. Some clearer instructions on how to reach the house would be great, my sat nav sent me up a residential street which then went into a very narrow and steep lane before announcing we'd reached our destination. However, the owner was a phone call away and once we'd be guided onto the correct road, the house is very easy to find! All in all, a lovely stay, we was very lucky with the weather and spent our few days in October on the beach!! Thank you!

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.
