The kitchen has everything you could possibly need and more, and the sofas and beds, pillows etc are very comfortable. We had a wonderful week and the weather was glorious, note: don't close the sitting room curtains as you will miss the amazing sunsets! We must return again.

The enclosed garden is beautiful with amazing views over the countryside which we never tired of. The use of the adjacent acre field was handy to give our two Boxers the ability to let off some steam. The goodies on arrival after a long drive were really appreciated. Although there are neighbouring cottages it is so very peaceful. The location is great with lovely walks on the doorstep and beaches, shops etc only a short drive away. The neighbouring sheep kept us amused with their comings and goings. We returned home recharged and refreshed.

Cottage comfortable, with walks from the door. A bird feeder in garden would be good.
