Horner Cottage is well equipped and was meticulously clean; one might even say clinically so, which was great but the instructions to leave the TV remote in its plastic bag in the designated spot amongst other similar prescriptive instructions seemed somewhat over the top!

Horner Cottage is well equipped and was meticulously clean; one might even say clinically so, which was great but the instructions to leave the TV remote in its plastic bag in the designated spot amongst other similar prescriptive instructions seemed somewhat over the top! Do be mindful of the location details - “ Horner Cottage is accessed by passing through Luccombe Cottage's garden to reach the front door” if you might be phased by having to walk directly through the other property’s garden/ past their windows to access your cottage. Luccombe Cottage was not occupied during my stay which was just as well as I should have felt awkward accessing/leaving my cottage early or late in the day thus potentially disturbing my neighbours as I crossed the shingle garden and opened the squeaky gate at either end. Be aware there is absolutely nothing in the way of food or drink items in the cottage ie not even any salt, pepper, sugar or oil. However there is washing up liquid and body wash sachets in the bathroom along with a generous cash sum in lieu of a welcome pack. Re Wi-Fi link; this worked well once WiFi calling had been activated. Reception is best in the lounge and upstairs bedroom but less reliable in the kitchen or garden. The boiler/generator located in the garden is also quite noisy when in operation. Finally be aware, if you have more than one car in your party you will be required to park it off the premises as there is a strict one car space policy for each cottage.

This was our third winter stay at Horner Cottage. It is an ideal size for two people and very well equipped. We particularly appreciate the spotless condition we have found it in on every visit.
