Bijou but comfortable and well-appointed cottage, close to amenities and good dog walks. It was exactly what we needed. Penny and Andrew are very kind and generous hosts.

2nd time staying at Quince Cottage. Absolutely lovely stay. Our dogs love it as there are open secured fields they can run around free. The cottage is very welcoming, everything you need. Our hosts are very helpful and nice. Location is perfect for the coast and National Trust properties. Would highly recommend a stay.
