Had a lovely week’s stay at Duck Island Cottage. The cottage was clean, the beds were comfy and the welcome pack from Nick and Sarah was a nice surprise. Location was ideal for access to many attractions, with a good range of local restaurants. Would recommend to others.

We had a wonderful week at Duck Island Cottage. Delightful accommodation, comfy sofas and beds, a well equipped kitchen and an excellent shower all make an impressive holiday cottage. Lots of thoughtful touches by the very hospitable owners. It is extremely dog friendly and the small courtyard felt very safe and certainly was a sun trap but with shade for the dog. Even the spiral staircase is not as scary as anticipated!.
