We really appreciated how well equipped the cottage was, particularly the kitchen. We've been living through a renovation for the last year, so it was such a reprieve to be able to stay somewhere so beautifully finished! The location of the cottage is fantastic, an easy walk from Hive Beach and several pubs. We had a dog with us, and the cottage was well suited with tiled flooring downstairs, and an enclosed garden space. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would be very happy to re-visit, or recommend to others.

Shower in wet room leaks badly all over the floor. The seal must be gone on shower glass. Not enough towels in property for a week stay.

Decorated beautifully & well equipped (could do with a hairdryer though) The beds were very comfortable. We think the cleaning company is letting it down though..it needs a proper deep clean in the shower room and kitchen especially. It was very dusty too throughout. That being said, we loved our holiday and didnât want to leave. Thank you for letting us extend our stay an extra night. We would love to return in the future and Iâd definitely recommend the property.
