    A great location to visit diverse places and properties. Sadly we had to cut our visit short but we are already planning to return. The facilities were all very practical and comfortable.

    As soon as you arrive peace and quiet which is just what we needed, Raine welcomed us and showed us around the cottage, which is like a tardis. Felt at home straight away. The cottage is surrounded by lovely scenery and lots of place soo and lovely towns to visit and the beaches are gorgeous. If you fancy getting away from it all this is the cottage to come to. We didn't want to leave, our dog Maddie loved the new walks and exploring, also the cottage has a field attached where Maddie enjoyed chasing her tennis ball. Thank you again Pat and Raine , so lovely to meet you both, hoping to see you again soon .
