This characterful cottage is full of original features from its earlier days as a sail loft, lovingly retained including stripped wooden floorboards, sash windows and window seats. The cosy sitting room with over-sized armchairs is the perfect place to relax between dips in the sea and enjoy the roaring open fire in cooler months; and spills through into a charming, hand-built wooden kitchen with contemporary granite worktops, fully equipped with appliances, utensils and crockery including KitchenAid and Emma Bridgewater. A rustic dining area, butler's sink and charming window seat give this room a vintage vibe.

We liked the cottage very much. It was charming and well-equipped. The only two reasons I only gave it 4 stars was because we were told there would be travel sized bottles of toiletries and there was only hand wash, so we had to buy shower gel and shampoo, which I would have brought if I had known and it would have been better if there had been summer weight duvets, as it was really hot while we were there.

Our second visit to Langley Tarne the venue is very central and very well equipped however we do think it could do with a bit of revamped it's looking tired. The disadvantages there is no out side space and parking to the property. The refuse bin is outside the Windiw and it smelt for the week we were there..... Not pleasant!!! The weather was hot and we would have benefited from a fan.
