The milk and cake waiting for us was such a nice touch. The garden is a lovely relaxing place for a quiet drink in the evening. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it (in fact we've already booked again for next year).

Very clean. Lovely garden through the shed fully enclosed so we could enjoy the sun with our dog. Brilliant location, very near to pub which has lovely beer garden for summer. Owner of cottage and very accommodating and very friendly and everyone in the village were very friendly and welcoming. Perfect location to enjoy the sun the the garden, pop to the pub, lots of nearby beaches. Lots to do a short drive or walk away. Very comfortable bed (always nice!). Would highly recommend. Really lovely house. Comfy, clean and felt like home.
