A great holiday cottage, ideal for grandparents to use downstairs bedroom and shower. Parents with 2 children can have upstairs bedrooms and bathroom. The sitting room and kitchen have plenty of room for whole family together. The kitchen was well equipped with cooker, air fryer, microwave, washing machine and dishwasher. Also plenty of crockery, cutlery, pans etc. The outside space with wonderful views has a table, chairs and washing line. Our grandchildren Aged 11 and 8 really enjoyed being able to use the outside play area.

Set on beautiful countryside, very quiet but only 10 minutes drive to the coast. A very welcome cream tea of scones, jam and cream together with milk and wine on arrival. Welcomed by Rob, the host when we arrived. The playground near the cottage was well equipped and was enjoyed by our grandsons and children in the adjoining cottage. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay A failing toaster was replaced immediately. We had a very enjoyable holiday. Certainly a place we would consider returning to

Lovely place and really friendly owner.1 thing I would change is the bed as the bed could do with being bigger and duvet only just fitted.May be a king size as there is enough room.
