White Cottage Retreat Reviews

Claire

We really enjoyed our stay here, lovely location with a beautiful view! Plenty to do in the surrounding areas; definitely advise having a car to get around as it's very hilly! Also worth being aware that if you have mobility issues then getting to the cottage could be tricky, as it's along a garden path and up several steps, so quite a way to carryRead more bags. Still highly recommended though; the bed was one of the most comfortable holiday cottage beds we have been in, and the hot tub was fabulous! Hide

Paul

Lovely stay in a very nice lodge . The quality of all fixtures and equipment was a pleasant surprise. What was no surprise was the helpfulness and care of the owners. As many have commented it appeared that it was very important to gill and Colin that their guests enjoy their stay .

White Cottage Retreat is the best holiday cottage we have stayed at. It's comfortable, really well-equipped - with the best most comfortable bed - and with great views and a hot tub just outside the patio doors.

Excellent accommodation in a lovely position to enjoy looking over rooftops and gardens to distant view of sea. One couldn't wish for better provision of equipment and so it provided a very comfortable base with the special extra of the hot tub.
