This is a lovely place in a lovely place, with lovely and friendly hosts. When in the hot tub you feel like you could be anywhere, though you are near everything you could need - shops, petrol, places of interest. There was nothing that we felt was missing, everything had been thought about. There were no restrictions around the hot tub usage, whic h was brilliant, we used it at least twice a day, and sometimes after 9:30pm.
Clive
Beautiful place to stay everything you need . Was so peaceful and quiet the bed was very comfy slept like a log every night. Would highly recommend. The only thing was it's quite a walk to the sea and hilly but you can go so far down and park up on street for free it wouldn't put me off as it's Beautiful to return to after a day exploring

Really nice cottage and well equipped, the hot tub was an added bonus due to the weather when we attended. They had gone out of their way to set it up for the Christmas period with treats and a tree. Probably would have booked again if they had remained dog friendly.
