Beautiful warm cottage. Fantastic walks and cycling along the Cinder Track. Great base for coastal path. Both pubs either side were dog friendly and the Pie at the Oak Wheel was amazing.

Loved the cottage and the location, it was cosy and welcoming and the owner had left a few treats which were very tasty thank you.A few things to point out that could do with replacing and that is the single mattresses are way past there sell by date and very uncomfortable and springy, also can understand a few cobwebs but there was more than a few with spiders in unusual places, the cottage just needs a deeper clean, however I would definitely reccomend staying here and would definitely rebook if I was visiting that location again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. lovely cottage, plenty of character and very roomy. All the things you need. Easy to find. great pub next door, very friendly , good for kids and dogs too. re parking - pub landlord very happy ( I did ask - felt it was the polite thing to do) for us to park there, we did eat there too. Not every day as we travelled around the area, great central place to visit all up and down east coast. we will be back.
