We had such a lovely break at countryside cottage. We truly enjoyed our stay. The host, Louise, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful - nothing was ever too much trouble.. The cottage was very clean and cosy, and the hot tub and fireplace were perfect additions for these cold days. We would definitely recommend a visit.Aggie and Adam **

We had the best time at this beautiful accommodation. We stopped over new year and thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. The property is beautiful, the log burner was great after a cold walk on the beach with our labradoodle Hugo. Although you did not need it as the cottage is lovely and warm without it. The hot tub was great, we went in every day. The host Louise was excellent and gave us walks and advice on beaches, places to eat and very friendly and our sort of person :) 5 stars from us and would recommend to anyone. The property has everything you need, is on a quiet road with walks from the door and the beach is an 8 minute drive away. Book it you won't regret it :)

We have just returned from a 4 night stay with our spaniel at The Old Granary and what an incredible few days we’ve had. We have never had such kind and accommodating hosts. Louise and Rich could not do enough for us and always made sure we had everything we needed, and Louise made many recommendations which were fantastic during our stay. The cottage is clean and very well equipped. We weren’t short of anything during our stay (instead of toilet roll, which was on the doorstep within 30 minutes) but we know if we needed anything more, Louise would be on hand to help. This property is the comfiest and cosiest we have stayed in and the hot tub is a lovely touch which we used twice a day. We loved our welcome goodies and our spaniel Mabel was spoilt rotten too with her own treats, doggy blanket and bowl. We loved the nearby beaches but also being surrounded by countryside, it really is the best of both worlds here and so incredibly peaceful. The nearby town Alford has a great pub, The George Inn that we visited each day and we enjoyed a Chinese takeaway from Panda House too which was solely from Louise’s recommendation and it did not disappoint. The bed in the cottage is sooooo comfy and the smart TV has all you need for a stay here. The garden is enclosed which we needed for our dog. We loved the effort Louise has gone to to make the cottage festive with the lovely Christmas decorations. Overall, we have had the BEST time and will most certainly be returning thanks to Louise’s amazing hosting and everything else in between! Thank you so much. This place cannot be faulted in our opinion 😍 Olivia, Vincent and Mabel **
