Fabulous family house which we hired to celebrate our Mum’s 70th birthday. Eight adults and four kids and a dog were easily accommodated in comfort and classical country style. The kitchen dining room is the heart of the property and great for family breakfasts and we hired a chef for one night who found the kitchen excellent for cooking up a feast! The living room is also a lovely place for a relaxing family flop.The house has a nice enclosed outdoor dining area and an additional secure garden perfect for smaller kids and dogs. Beautiful beaches are only a stroll away and West Bay offers a very presentable seaside experience without be too “bucket and spade”!

We stayed at the retreat for my mum’s 70th birthday, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The cottage was absolutely stunning — spotless, beautifully decorated, and really well equipped. We loved the thoughtful welcome pack, especially the treats for the doggies — such a lovely touch!It was ideal for our family of nine (plus dogs), with plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy time together around the cozy fireplace. The location was fantastic too — just a 15–20 minute walk to Hive Beach and close to some gorgeous coastal path walks with amazing views.All in all, it was a truly wonderful stay. We made so many special memories and would absolutely love to come back again. Highly recommend!
