Owners were friendly and informative, and kindly left out eggs, milk, flowers and delicious home-made lemon cake. Cottage was beautifully clean and well-equipped. We particularly appreciated the comfy, reclining sofa - important after a day exploring the island. Surroundings were beautiful and truly relaxing - a wonderful place for a day in with a Read moregood book! Thoroughly enjoyed the nature reserve on the doorstep, especially as this meant we saw six red squirrels! Will definitely return. Hide

This holiday cottage has a wonderful location and is beautifully equipped. It's on a farm with its own fenced off patio garden. Odette and Anita are so friendly and they've created a very special holiday home. If you like country walks on your doorstep and to have gorgeous downland views then this is the place for you.

The cottage is set in an idyllic position that would be hard to beat anywhere else. Ideal for dogs as good walking near by and on the sandy beaches. May be too small for 4 adults but ideal for a family with 2 small children

Really lovely cottage with everything you may need for your stay in a beautiful setting. The owners were friendly and we appreciated the gift of eggs, milk and homemade cake. Only 10 minute drive to most places. We explored and took lots of long walks at the nearby beaches. Food was great and everywhere was accommodating for the dogs.
