A lovely cottage. Probably the best and most thoughtfully equipped that weve stayed in. Great location - loads of local walks, great local pub, quiet, lovely and cool on hot days. Owners checked in with us to see if we needed anything before we arrived and then again a couple of days in.

Beautiful cottage. Comfy, cosy and so inviting. Walls so thick it was extremely peaceful. The garden had sun morning and evening so if weather nice you could eat outside. Home from home. Fantastic location for coastal walks

Had a lovely stay. Perfect location with a dog as down a quiet lane where we did not have to worry when our dog was out the front. There is a path at the end of the cottages which takes you down to the sea. Back garden secure too, but bear in mind that it is almost a shared garden with next door which is also a holiday cottage. Village great with pRead moreub which only serves pies, pasties and sausage rolls, but they are homemade and fabulous. Really comfortable cottage and holiday. Hide
