Lovely cosy cottage in great location. Spotlessly clean & well equipped. Loved snuggling up in front of the open fire listening to the storm outside. We've stayed in lots of holiday cottages & this is one of our new favourites, we shall definitely return.

We loved our week at ‘Sunnydene’. Lovely, well-equipped house in a special place, despite it being a fair walk to the nearest Co-Op (up to main road, then turn left) if you want to buy a newspaper! Theakston’s Old Peculiar (on draught) is almost ‘the perfect pint’ served at the Royal George while the Cod & Lobster offer some scrummy seafood (best to book to secure a favoured table), oh and not forgetting Dotty’s Vintage Tea Rooms for a lovely cuppa and great breakfasts or brunch.
