A lovely, warm, and cozy cottage—perfect for a family with two little kids and a dog.The nearby beach is absolutely breathtaking and made our stay extra special.The owner communicated brilliantly and the thoughtful welcome pack was a lovely touch.

What a beautiful cottage, in a lovely setting with so much to see and do within the area.It was perfect for just the two of us.However the second bedroom on the upper level would be unsuitable for any one our age, steep stairs and no bathroom.The info didn’t say that there was a welcome pack, but we were left a bottle of wine and some shortbread which was a very nice surprise…thanks

Had a lovely week at Holly Cottage. We already knew the area as have holidayed near by many times .The cottage had everything we needed for a great holiday.The only slight concern was the cleanliness. It wasn’t bad but I am very picky. Under sofa cushions was quite unclean and needed a good hoover and there were lots of cobwebs. But as I said it didn’t stop us from having a lovely stay.
