Ideal for our purpose , with good downstairs facilities for our less mobile member member of the party . Clean with everything needed . A bar in the shower downstairs would be a good addition to aid showering for less mobile. Very comfortable and warm ! Excellent stay !
The cottage was very clean, and the host extremely efficient and friendly. Beautiful walks close by, whether it be a country park or beach.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Fantastic cottage although so big its not really a cottage!Everything included down to smallest item ,very warm comfortable and welcoming. There were 7 of us and dogs and we had so much room and lots of fun

Great size accommodation.
Great size accommodation.Excellently situated.Would like to return again because of location however accommodation needs some loving care.Although ample size for family of 8 furnishings could do with upgrade.Showers could do with good clean due to mould .Large outdoor space very well maintained .Host excellent left us alone but was contactable if needed.If was upgraded and cleaned a bit more I would definitely return .
Location was perfect for our needs.
Kitchen was well supplied, which made a nice change to most properties.
Everything was clean, neat and comfortable.
Sound downstairs doesn't travel upstairs which is great if you have kids sleeping.
