A very comfortable and well equipped cottage in an idyllic, quiet location close to beaches, nature reserves and a welcoming pub. The garden is dog safe and big enough for a good romp plus its south facing so you can make the most of the good weather exploring and back at base.

We loved the cottage and its perfect, quiet location just down the road from the White Horse pub. The walk to the beach is a bit longer for those with mobility issues, but nonetheless a very attractive stroll. The cottage is very well equipped, and we wanted for nothing during our stay. Would most definitely return.

This was our second visit and Im sure well be back. House is perfect. Large enclosed garden for dogs. Location is ideal as its close to the beach for walks, good local pub and lots of places to explore nearby. Our weather was great so we had a bbq every night and sat outside in the evening sun. All in all a perfect week.

Only one minor point - the roof gutter was blocked just to one side of bedroom 2, such that during heavy rain rainwater overspills onto the outside sill making it sound as though water was running into the bedroom, however it wasn't but in the middle of the night it gives you a bit of a fright!
