    We had the most amazing week! The house was perfect, (we had 5 adults, 1 child) and came with everything we needed. Access to the extra wood was amazing as we had a few very cold nights, so being able to have the wood burners going was amazing! We would definitely come again!

    We had a lovely family Christmas at this beautiful property. The house is so cosy with the wood burning stoves, but with plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen in particular is very well equipped (as is the rest of the house), so it was easier to prepare Christmas dinner than it is at home! We also enjoyed our walks on the beach - the location means there is a choice every day. Finally, thank you also for the decorations and Christmas tree - the perfect finishing touch.

    Location okay very close to village rd have to beaware of through traffic can be busy at times , Property lovely from outside and garden a little tired inside needs updating and modernizing in places . Beds not very comfortable mattress is just adequate useable for teenagers but not elderly you could feel springs in bed plus there was a musky smell within property which the furniture is of old period stuff so the smell could of come from there .i also noticed a big screw sticking through the door to the lounge entrance need attending to incase someone cuts them selves . I felt bathroom upstairs could of done with a modern walk in shower the bath is on small side and ive seen a bigger go kart in all fairness. Livingroom was a nice relaxing area lounge area was fine but could do with some modern furniture in my eyes , there was no fans if weather got hot as low ceilings makes rooms hotter during summer period also Parking is only enough for 1 viechle which could be a problem with a family holiday party that have more cars . Overall a pleasent stay .

    We really enjoyed the quirkiness of the house. The beds were comfortable, it felt clean and tidy and everything we needed was available. The hosts were quick to respond when I had questions and we were made to feel welcome. The local pub isn't currently open, but there is a little shop next door. Thank you for letting us stay ?

    It was home away from home and it really made it a holiday. It was our first trip away with our new puppy and we felt comfortable with the security of the garden. The property was well stocked and we enjoyed the nights in in front of the log burner.

    Needs a thorough clean throughout . Lots of food bits in fridge freezer, kitchen drawers and dishwasher that we had to clean before use. Garden not good for dogs. Position of cottage not well described , directly outside both entrances from the garden is a very busy road with no pavement, luckily we don't have young children. Having said that it's a gorgeous cottage but as a rental needs lots of updating and a better description in the advertising.

    The house is full of character and has everything you require for a stay, whether a short or long stay. It is a very good base to explore from. We had 3 generations staying and we had enough space to move about without living on top of one another. The welcome file was rammed with information, activities and local history but unfortunately it did not contain the WiFi code but that was easily rectified with a text. We all had a good, relaxing break and would return.
