This is a beautiful cottage in a lovely location. Stephen called in to say hello and check everything was ok for us which was very kind. Kitchen, lounge and bedrooms all fabulous, the cottage is full of character. Managed a long and rewarding walk to Freshwater and back with plenty of sea air and amazing views.

Good for a few days stay. Overall ok. Living room was dark without artificial lights all day. Only windows on one side. Sofa could have been cleaner. At night it would have been good to pull some curtains acros the windows.
