What an amazing holiday let. From the minute you arrive at the 5 bar gate and see so much parking and your first view of the recently renovated cottage and the beautiful surroundings. So hard to find accomadation with more than one relaxation area and this had three. Two with large TV's and the garden room where I loved to read. A lot of thought Read morehas gone into the renovation and what someone might need to have a great weeks break. Our dog loved the paddock that is accessed straight off the garden and is fully secure.

We are a group of friends who meet up twice a year to spend a week together in different parts of the country. This is one of the best properties we have ever stayed in. It was the subject of a very recent restoration which used high quality materials and fittings and has been decorated and furnished with impeccable taste. The bedrooms are all a reRead moreasonable size, the ensuites spacious with excellent showers. The garden room is delightful though we mainly used the comfortable sofas in the large open plan area. The kitchen is professional standard and is the best equipped we have ever used, enough knives (and a knife sharpener!) as well as a huge choice of pans, steamers, casserole dishes, etc, and lots of available cupboard space. The garden is large and pleasant with good furniture for lounging and dining. The hot tub got some good use though the weather wasn't quite good enough to make use of the firepit. The area around is lovely with lots of walks within half an hour's drive, especially along the coastal path, and there are several very good places to eat within easy range. The owner was very welcoming and responsive. Hide

We had a perfect stay at Slade House! It was very welcoming and spacious for 7 adults an infant & 3 dogs (1 puppy). The facilities and rooms were amazing and the private gated driveway added a nice piece of mind for security when letting the dogs roam the fully enclosed gardens. We will definitely be back
