Many of the rooms, including the kitchen boast wonderful sea views, so preparing a meal or a few doggy treats will be a pleasure. As will eating, as the dining room is completed with a toasty wood burner, so your furry friend can snooze in the warmth whilst you enjoy a meal. The lounge too boasts a wood burner so there will be no shortage of places to snuggle down after a busy day. Let your canine chum roll around on the large lawn, and scamper through the shrubs whilst you relax with the views. The garden is enclosed by a low stone wall so take care with Fido or young children.

We had a great time! The house is very nice and extremely well equipped, but the most positive thing though was the welcome and great customer service that Sue and Steve provided. In particular the directions and house manual were detailed and accurate. The welcome pack, especially the cake and the wine, was super. Sue and Steve's response to the sRead moremall issues that we did encounter was exemplary. Hide

A very comfortable house, well equipped and with a beautiful garden and view. Lovely garden furniture, we enjoyed our breakfasts outside on several sunny mornings. It was perfect for our party of 6 adults and a baby. The generous welcome pack with a home made was much appreciated!

A very pleasant cottage. Well equipped throughout the house. Owner very helpful. The double bedroom on the first floor large enough for mum and dad and two toddler beds. The best part is the view out the front. As it is an old property six footers beware. My grandson wants to come back.
