This cottage is perfect for two people and if youre like us, a dog. Its in the most beautiful setting surrounded by hills, thatched cottages and well worn paths. It has everything you need and was spotlessly clean upon arrival. The shower after a long walk is bliss and I was glad to see a washing washing in the utility room. We walked every day, eRead morexploring the surrounding towns and villages and on return ate either in the village pub or cooked in the well equipped kitchen. The only thing to be aware of if your dog loves chasing a ball on a sandy beach is that all of the beaches in the area are pebble. Hide

Lovely cottage, beautiful location. Cleaning has improved since last visit a year ago. You need to get the front door seen to. It has swollen in the wet and doesn't fit, making it very difficult to close and open

Loved the cottage Fantastic response from complaints team V difficult when water supply cut off (not just hot water but all water) to property to implement any clear way forward. Was eventually told to contact number in case of emergency on travel directions but that did not exist. Hence no other option but to come home
