Perfect location for the beach for us. Driveway improvements are great. On a busy road but not a problem for us as October half term & didnât need the windows open. Suggestions for improvements would be a new mattress & decent pillows. Unfortunately the main oven stopped working but luckily had the top oven. Overall great week & would definitely return.

We had everything we could need, the house was warm and cosy and everyone had an amazing time. The only thing to mention was that the gardener arrived and refused to move his truck from the parking space which meant we had to park on the other side of the village for the day - apart from this we had a 5 star stay!

We were within walking distance of Hive beach which has a great cafe right by the beach.The cottage is homely and well equipped with everything we needed, it is on a main road with fast moving traffic so those with children or dogs need to be aware but overall didn't affect us. It was lovely seeing the rabbits in the garden in the mornings. If you do have dogs you will need to keep an eye on them in the garden as the fencing is a little hit and miss. The cottage was clean and furnished beautifully. The only problem we had was the light outside the back door didn't work but other than that all good.
