Oliver
Great spot, peaceful stay with handy shops nearby, including Tesco’sand plenty of local attractions to explore.
Emma
Really enjoyed our stay! The cottage was lovely, well-equipped and felt very cosy. Big thanks to Charlotte for making us feel so welcome! Definitely coming back.
Emma
Great spot, fun games room, loved the pool!
Alex
This place really hits the spot for a cosy stay, perfect for two. Plus, the on-site leisure facilities are a great bonus! Would stay again.
Emma
Great spot, everything from last year’s issues has been sorted out. Would definitely come back!
Emma
The spot is gorgeous and perfect for families, with nice amenities. Our cottage, though, was quite damp in the bedroom, making our clothes damp and a bit musty. My daughter’s cottage on-site was absolutely lovely, which was a relief!
James
The cottage suited us perfectly; no issues at all, very happy with it.
Emma
There’s not much to do and info about nearby activities is pretty limited, especially if the weather's rubbish. It could definitely be better!
Emma
Really enjoyed our stay! The cottage was cosy, the views stunningand the location perfect for exploring.
Emma J.
We stayed at the cottage mainly for the hot tub, but unfortunately, it wasn’t in use-definitely not the owner’s fault. The location wasn’t quite what we imagined, though for many it’d be ideal. We’d honestly tell friends the good and bad points, but in the end, everyone’s got their own idea of what makes a perfect stay. It’s a bit of a mixed bag.
Emma
We really enjoyed our stay! The initial hiccups were quickly sortedand the alternative cottage was perfect. Hosts were super friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Thanks a lot!
Claire
We had a lovely stay, peaceful and perfect for our dogs. The surrounding area is beautifuland we loved meeting Shrek, Barnabyand Minstrel-the donkeys and pony. Please keep the big field; we’ll definitely come back for another visit someday! It was really great.
James
The place is fantastic, with stunning sea views that really take your breath away. Our dog loved the big meadow nearby for morning runs. At night, the clear skies and countless stars made it even more special. Definitely planning to come back!
James
The cottage was spotless and had a lovely view, day and night. The welcome pack with tea, coffee, milk, sugar and a bottle of wine was a nice touch!
Sarah
Great views and cosy place, would definitely stay again!
James
Beautiful location, very clean and well-equipped, plus dog-friendly-what more could we want?
Emma
We had a fantastic stay at this cottage! It was spotless and had everything we could ask for. The views were stunningand we loved playing table tennis and air hockey in the games room. The indoor pool was perfect on a rainy day. Definitely a great place to relax!
Emma
We really enjoyed our stay here! The location is pretty remote, so if you're hoping to walk to a nearby pub, forget it - they’re quite a trek away. The pool was lovely and warm, which was perfect for relaxing, though the jacuzzi didn’t bubble much. We had one minor issue, but it was sorted out immediately, which was great. The views are stunningand the donkeys are adorable. If you want a peaceful escape, we’d definitely recommend this place - we had a fantastic time!
