A lovely comfortable clean cottage, well equipped and spacious. Nice touch scones & clotted cream. We had some lovely chats with our hosts. They could not have been any more accommodating. Thank you.

A lovely cottage with everything we needed inside the property. It lacked an EV charger. Limited, private, outside space was disappointing. The homemade scones with jam & cream were much appreciated.

New build holiday house, clean comfortable and functional. Looks bigger on the photos but perfect for us two adults. Bathroom quite small. There is very little outdoor space, but as we were out exploring everyday, it didnt bother us. Holiday house sits on the end of a row of new houses.

Reversing out onto drive feels a bit tight when owners cars are all parked there, but okay if you have front and rear parking aids on your car. Was not easy to find at first, as only small sign at end of driveway and postcode leads satnav to high street. But generally it is a Good location only 15-20 minutes drive in all directions to many lovely villages, towns and seasides. Useful village spar shop and chip shop. Sitting in the evening with back door open is lovely with a fresh breezes and the sound of many swifts and barn swallows enjoying the farmers fields behind the property. Would definitely come again, but wish there was a view over the fields from the small outside seating area. Views can only be seen from kitchen window and skylights. Hide
