Comfortable cottage though quite basic for the money. We found we wanted to go to the coast each day so the location wasn't perfect for us but the views are pretty anxious it's peaceful.

Cottage was just perfect. Very comfortable and cosy. Ideal for us and the dogs. Kitchen well equipped tho could maybe do with couple more dishes to cook with, Lovely to have really luxurious towels, and shower was amazing. Cottage was warm and we even turned heating off most days, just putting on when needed. Utility room was a great additioRead moren with a small freezer. Garden was just what we wanted for the dogs, secure with amazing views. They loved it, The issue we had was getting them in! We ate out on the picnic bench most days, weather permitting. One piece of advice, take binoculars as the wildlife is incredible and spent many evenings just watching the heron fishing and the hares playing from the window. Look forward to going again Hide

Beautiful cottage in a wonderful peaceful location. We loved the peace and quiet. It is beautifully decorated, comfortable and well equipped. The well fenced garden was great for the dogs. The cottage is on a Sporting Estate so if you have a dog with the hunting gene bred in pick your time of year carefully !!. Morning walks can be a challenge whenRead more pheasants are wandering about like chickens. Also be aware of the dogs on lead at all times rule. It is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues Hide
