Make your way up two steps to the front door of this charming, country abode. Let Rex lead the way inside to where there is an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner.

We weren't very impressed with this cottage, especially the health and safety aspect of the microwave, which was located above the cooker. We had to stand on a stool to reach it. There weren't enough work surfaces in the kitchen or bathroom. However, the garden was lovely but we couldn't sit outside due to the wet weather. Unfortunately we won't beRead more returning. Hide

What a great place, on arrival we were met by Scott and Ritchie ,who are so friendly. The Cottage is beautiful and clean, with everything you need for your stay. The paddock at the rear is a great space for the Family and dog, we had a picnic, played ball and flew the kite. The grounds are great for a wander around and the outside courtyard with itRead mores seating area is lovely too. We could not fault our stay.It is ideally situated as a base for day trips to the Seaside and the nearby Town. Brilliant Hide

Absolutely fabulous cottage with surrounding gardens and wooded area. The large enclosed field area behind the cottages is a dream for dogs who love to run free, no worries of an escape. The scones clotted cream and jam were excellent. Both owners were very friendly and helpful.
