The hideaway is perfect if you want to go off walking no need for the car. Jane was lovely and welcoming, there if you needed her but not at all intrusive. Will definitely book again.

It's the perfect getaway for anyone wanting a peaceful break. There are beautiful walks over the Towans, perfect for our four-legged friend, and the beach is dog friendly too. Would definitely book a return visit.

However the owner wasn't happy as she prefers people to arrive after 4pm. As the place was ready, I asked to be shown to the accomodation anyway. As this is self catering, there are no cooking facilities or any equipment provided. There is a microwave, toaster and kettle. But no kitchen area so you have to wash any plate etc in the sink in the bathroom. The fridge is a mini fridge, so could get some milk and maybe something else small in there. The bathroom.. I ran out of hot water on the second day so needed to use the immersion heater but as not used to one, had to have a cold shower as it heated up. Which was fine as it washed all the hair off the bath which was left from previous owner. The bed, as mentioned in another review, is rock hard, like sleeping on a snooker table. I brought an elderly pug with me, who just sleeps all day. As a professional person, he is used to be left while I'm at work. However, after I popped out for two hours, the owner came to speak to me and strongly explained she doesn't agree with dogs being left. I explained he is used to it but she insisted on giving her opinion and it's against her rules plus he was distressed and damaging her furniture. He was asleep. I offered to pay for any damage but of course, there was none. However this made me feel uncomfortable. Due to the accomodation being in her garden, right next to her house, she can see into the property from the house. After this incident, I felt I was then being watched. Definitely not a relaxing break with added expensive of having to eat out all the time.
