This is a peaceful location with stunning views. The town is about 25/30 minutes away and is quite a challenge as its quite a steep path in places with some stony parts. If you are fit and able with good shoes this wont be a problem. The cottage is cosy and well kept, the garden is a bit overgrown and could do either a tidy up but the two person hoRead moret tub was great. We were left dishwasher tablets but there was no dishwasher! Nice welcome pack to get you started, coffee, tea, milk biscuits which was a nice touch. There is not a lot going on on site, so if you after peace and quiet with local amenities a good walk away this is for you. Hide

The cottage is a lovely place to have a holiday. The rooms are clean and comfortable and have everything you need for a comfortable stay. The garden area is great, we spent most of our time out there. The hot tub was so relaxing after a busy day and was kept clean throughout our stay. The views are amazing and it is so peaceful, with no road noise,Read more only the sound of birds. It is only a short walk from town, you can venture down the private path down to the beach, but it may be tough for kids and older folk. All in all we had a wonerfull holiday and would come back.

A lovely quiet location in beautiful surroundings. Comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. Lovely towels and towels for the hot tub were a nice surprise and the bathrobe and slippers. The footpath to the beach is incredibly steep but doesnt take very long and the beach at Westward Ho! is definitely worth the walk

We were very happy with our stay in Surcoat cottage. The property was nice and warm upon arrival, and it's very well-appointed with modern appliances, Wi-Fi, etc. Large open plan living space. Hot-tub was a nice luxury after a long day walking with the dog.
