We booked Whitney Cottage for a January weekend break away. A few days before, we had a text from the owners Graham and Janet, welcoming us and giving us directions that turned out to be spot on. The cottage itself was gorgeous - clean and well-equiped with everything we needed, even down to umbrellas! We were told to ask if we needed anything, but the owners have thought of everything so we didn't need to. There was a lovely welcome pack that came in very handy. The hot tub was an added bonus. On the one dry evening we had we sat in it and watched the stars come out - it was beautiful. The cottage made a great base for exploring the south coast, and it didn't matter that it rained (The Donkey Sanctuary at Sidmouth is especially recommended, and is free!) There's lots to do nearby, and we'll definitely be returning to the cottage again to see more.
