We have just come back from an amazing stay. The cozy cottage was equipped with everything we could need, and Cath provided a lovely welcome pack for our arrival. The garden was enormous, which our dogs enjoyed exploring. Cath was on hand for any issues. The bed was so comfortable, and we could hear the pretty river just outside. There is a walkRead more across the road leading directly onto the beach. There were many spring lambs in the field adjacent to the pathway. Such a pretty area. Hide

Second visit to here its an excellent location 5 minutes from train station and very picturesque. Everything you need is already there for you and the gardens and stream are so relaxing. A nice addition is the skylight in the bedroom so you can look at the stars. We will be going back.

The cottage is more like a summerhouse. It nestles in a stunning garden that provides a haven of peace for both humans and dogs!

Well appointed, comfy and spotlessly clean cottage, with a superb host who clearly wants to ensure her guests have a good stay. The jewel in the crown is the beautiful garden with the river running through it. Also great is the base...beautiful village and accomodation is a short walk from beach, railway station, pub and shop. Just fabulous.

This is a hidden gem. So peaceful. The cottage is spotlessly clean, well equipped and comfortable. The very large, enclosed garden is beautiful and our dog loved it. The river next to the garden is stunning with its foliage along the bank. Cath, the owner, is very helpful and friendly and there if we needed her. Only a 15 minute stroll from the dooRead morer to the beach. Would definitely recommend. Hide
