Garden cottage is a lovely and quiet location, perfect for taking some time away to relax. The cottage comes with a variety of amenities including board games and outdoor games which they did not need to add but just add to the owners thoughtfulness for their guests. Adding on to that, the owners are extremely helpful and helped me when having a small error with the key - they came out within five minutes to help. The little gift box they left out was also greatly appreciated. Overall 5/5 stars alone just for amazing service. This place is worth the buy.

We loved this holiday cottage, close by the sea! We had good weather which made it even better! Felt very much at home! A bit of a trek from bedroom to bathroom down steepish staircase (it’s an old property after all)A few extra items like cling film, foil and waste bags if you need a picnic would be a suggestion for the future! On the whole, it’s a lovely place to stay - would definitely recommend and would definitely come back!
