We stayed at Welcombe Cottage to celebrate my mum’s 70thand honestly, it was fantastic. The house is absolutely stunning with beautiful decorand we loved having the pool, hot tuband games room to unwind in. It was perfect for bringing the family together on such a special occasion.

Alex
We had a lovely week away! The house was spot on when we arrived, fully equipped with everything we needed. The pool and hot tub were both warm and spotlessand the pool cover was super easy to manage thanks to the videos. The big grass area was perfect for the seven kids to run around all day. The only thing was the drive-about half an hour-to the nearest supermarketand the Co-op wasn’t very big or well-stocked. Still, overall, a great stay!

Emma Carter
We had a lovely stay! The house was spacious and perfect for our group, with a nice garden to relax in. The location was ideal for walking to the beach and exploring the coast paths. We also enjoyed a fantastic Sunday lunch at The Old Smithy. Thanks for having us!
Jessie
We recently stayed at this lovely cottage with family to mark 6 big birthdays and a wedding anniversary. There was plenty of room for 12 adults and 5 kids, aged from 2.5 to 6. The pool, hot tuband games room were a hit with everyone. The kitchen was well-stocked, making it easy for us to sit down together for meals. The extra touches really made it feel like home. We’d definitely love to come back sometime!
Emma
We stayed at this lovely cottage and loved the attention to detail in the decor. The pool was just rightand the hot tub was definitely a favourite for everyone. The beds were super comfyand the snug had some gorgeous sofas to relax on. The only downside was watching TV - the seats were a bit hard and limited in number, so a movie night was tricky with our big family. The local pub was charmingand the walk to the sea, though tough, was totally worth it!
Emma
Lovely character home in a peaceful rural spot, perfect for big family get-togethers, feels really welcoming.
Mark

We had a fantastic week with a mixed age group of 17, from toddlers to seniors. The outdoor space was perfect for the kids, especially the big grassy patch. The swimming pool, hot tuband games room kept everyone entertained. The interiors - lounges, dining area, kitchenand bedrooms - were all top-notch. Such a lovely place, hoping to return soon!
