Mrs Poel
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in a delightful cottage. It is in a very accessible but quiet location, in easy reach of the beautiful coastline. The cottage was very warm and well appointed and I would highly recommend it
Mrs Baker
Lovely cottage , no area to walk dogs safely only the drive . Parking was tight . No basics included .
Mrs Taylor
Positioned in a nice rural area, however If this cottage had been presented in a clean and hygienic state, it would have been a nice place to stay, however the cutlery, crockery was dirty. Mugs engrained with tea stains. There are so many things that were wrong with this cottage but with some TLC they could all be rectified. I was extremely disappointed and will be making a formal complaint.
