Very spacious and comfortable house in a lovely quiet, leafy location. Perfect for a family get-together with plenty of room for everyone. We appreciated the enclosed garden so that the dog couldn't get out, but we had to tie the gate up to make sure it didn't swing open. The house itself was great, clean and well-equipped, though a larger pasta pan and a larger casserole dish would have been helpful, given there were six of us. These are minor issues - we loved the place and would definitely recommend.

Large roomy house, garden, well equipped, all usual equipment, offices, comfortable bed, front room, log fire if want it, views down stairs not great, but upstairs you can see the sea, wind mill, and marshes, only down side was the TV couldn't really get it to work, could only get pay to view, nice place to stay, highly recommended,

Another wonderful week at Old Butlers Cottage was so peaceful and cosy warm in the evenings Have noticed a big increase in amount to pay in the future so for us may stop us going there although if bigger parties will be fine shame as we have really enjoyed our stay there
