Photos of the property are slightly misleading as it appears that the property is set back from the road. However this is not the case, the drive opens onto a fairly busy road and manoeurving in and out of the driveway is difficult. Parking for 2 Cars is tight.

A great cottage in a great location. Very well equiped and great pubs either side. If The Harbour Inn had The Ships menu, it would be the ideal pub....although The Harbours carvery on Sunday was superb. The entrance to the driveway is very narrow if you have a car larger than Focus or Astra and will struggle to get two on there if you have. The garRead moreden and equipment are very good and a lovely sun trap into the late evening. Hide

It was well equipped and comfortable but could have been cleaner in certain areas. Not sure it would be warm enough in cold weather.

Nice location and easily accessible for places to visit. Pub is next door so be aware of some noise until 11pm although the food is excellent. The property could definitely benefit from a guide book not only places to visit but also numbers such as doctors etc if needed. A lovely small village but quite a busy road right outside with limited paveRead morement space. Something to be aware of if you have a buggy/ disabled person. Hide

We loved our holiday at The Pidgeon Nest. The Ship Inn next door is great for food and the Harbour Inn has a lovely garden. The property was extremely clean and the owners were really quick and helpful when we had small issues. We can definitely recommend, especially with small children as all the equipment is provided for free. The garden is especRead moreially delightful on a summers evening. Dont hesitate to book! Hide

Overall, this property is exactly as advertised, though we wonder if car parking for two might be a struggle with the slim gateway. A second car might be better on the road. Generally We found it to be clean and having most of the basics needed.
