We weren't sure what to expect but it was perfect for us and our 2 dogs. We had the beach within walking distance. Lovely walks just outside the door. If you want a relaxing holiday with your pups then this is the place. Unfortunately we had to leave Friday night instead of Saturday morning because of family, but will definitely book another holiRead moreday when we can Hide

We had a lovely holiday, the cottage was spotlessly clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. We really enjoyed the rural location, perfect for walks with our dog yet still close enough for all amenities. I would not hesitate to go back again.

A wonderful stay in April's cottage, so peaceful and the house had everythingwe needed. The secure garden was great for our pooch and the sheltered seating area was perfect to sit with a cheeky tipple looking out at the fabulous view. Lovely 1.5mile walk through the woods to the beach. Would highly recommend.

We had a lovely welcome from Sue on arrival. The cottage is warm and cozy, with very comfortable furniture. An Ideal place to stay with our 2 dogs - the enclosed garden was so safe for them. We enjoyed a hot chocolate in the garden at night listening to the owls hooting. The woodland walk down to Duckpool was absolutely gorgeous, I can only imaRead moregine how pretty it will be in the summer. We will be returning. Thank you Sue for the cream tea - delicious!! Hide
