Exceeded our expectations by far! The accommodation was very well equipped for all our needs. We arrived in the evening and were greeted by Dan checking if we arrived safely. The lights inside were on, the cottage heated and the hot tub ready. The surrounding area is quiet, dark and filled with wild birds (making the hot tub perfect to bird watch and star gaze!). We explored local beaches, pubs woods recommended in an information folder provided and all was just as stated. The many personal touches inside the cottage and the perfect hosts made it one of the best places we have ever stayed. Very highly recommended and we definitely return!

The welcome pack was very generous for ourselves and Alfie dog. The best we have ever had. Dan and Sam very friendly and helpful. A lovely couple. The only downside for us were the towels. We do prefer a larger bath sheet.

we absolutely loved this place and the area. We found the owners super helpful as they lived on site but not intrusive. Lots of unexpected extras which were much appreciated . Our dogs loved the local beaches and everything was set up for a dog friendly stay. We highly recommend.
