The cottage was excellent. Everything we needed, and it is in a quiet almost traffic free lane. There is a nice patio area at the back of the cottage, which on a sunny day would be nice to sit in and relax. If holiday makers dont have a car, the cottage is a fairway from facilities such as shops and entertainment.

It was perfect for us and our hounds. Much bigger than expected with 2 sitting rooms, 2 TVs, and 2 fridge freezers. The bed was really comfortable and there is a nice new bathroom with an easy to use shower. It is ideal for guests with children and dogs.

Clean and tidy, but not particularly comfortable. Thin adjoining walls - could hear next doors TV and voices. No welcome pack at all / not even a T-bag!

It was amazing stay, very good value for money, beautiful space. The only area for improvement could be the bed which wasnt as comfortable as it could be. But everything else was absolutely amazing. Thank you!

Spacious bungalow with escape proof garden, ideal for dog owners. Unfortunately the standard of cleanliness let it down.
