We were looking for a peaceful retreat with our dog away from the fireworks, and found this was the perfect place to relax and escape the noise. The only thing we heard at night was an owl, it was that quiet. The cottage and garden were beautiful, well maintained and very well equipped with everything we needed. We felt very at home and comfortable during our stay, and when we needed to reach out to the owners due to the WiFi dropping, they were easy to get hold of, and very helpful, sorting the issue straight away. We would definitely return and would recommend to anyone looking for a countryside retreat, still within easy access of towns and beaches.

Exquisite decor. Everything we needed, except maybe a pizza cutter and the bin bags weren't under the sink, but everything was top quality and in excellent condition. Bed was super comfy. We loved spending the evenings in front of the fire. We even had a games night or too and completed a jigsaw. Got a bit worried on the last night when the stream started to come towards the front door, but it thankfully receded. Superb location for exploring the area and for a peaceful recharging of our bodies. Our Staffy loved it too. Thank you.
