Lovely old house but with a few flaws sofas felt damp and grubby bbq not fit for purpose On the plus side it was a lovely location and we had everything we needed even with a 17 month old comfy clean beds The hot tub advertised is a little on the small side and there was no stool to assist getting in I am 63 and have a sore hip so was unable to use it Overall we had a wonderful stay and would not hesitate to go back
Janice
Garden was smaller than looks on photo and very overlooked. Both double beds were quite uncomfortable. Needs a general update. Carpet on stairs has seen better days. Facilities in kitchen were great. Location of property was brilliant for what we wanted to see. Notes left in house were v useful. We would not book this property again but had a very enjoyable stay.
Jane
Comfortable, charming decor, and felt like home Ideal location as quiet to come home to but easy access to the beaches and places to visit. Thereâs a wonderful tea room in the village and two local pubs. Communication with the owner was really clear, welcoming, friendly and quick. Will definitely stay again
