One of the best cottages we have stayed in with some small, annoying, but easily remedied faults.

This is a great property and a great location. Comfortable beds with just a generally nice, relaxed feel to it. The play barn is a great asset, but it's a shame that the badminton racquets and table tennis bats have clearly seen better days as have the basketball game and pool table. It just looks under-invested. The path through to the coastal patRead moreh could do with some rather severe pruning too - it's so overgrown that it's verging on being impassable. Hide

We had a very relaxing and peaceful holiday. Lovely place. There was a small problem with one of the keys but was dealt with promptly and efficiently. Owners very friendly and helpful. Can fully recommend.
