“One of the best”

“A true gem. Warm and cosy. Everything had been thought of, for a comfortable stay. Spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated, we instantly felt at home. Dog friendly too. Owners very helpful, we honestly couldn't have wanted for anything. Location ideal, close to the beach, yet tucked away in a quiet corner of the village. Parking has been mentioned, and I would say, as long as you are a confident driver, the short reverse to the cottage shouldnt be an issue.”

“This cottage is a home from home, everything you require, beautiful decorations, spotlessly clean. Welcome tray was very welcome and such a lovely touch. We had such a wonderful week, hope to return soon. The owners have done a great job.”

“Beautiful little cottage.”

“I always want to say beautiful little cottage but it isn't really as it sleeps 6. Its in a lovely location, really handy for the beach and a couple of nice bars/restaurants. You need to be good at reversing to get parked but its worth while as its a nice quiet little cul-de-sac. Everything is quite newly renovated in a vintage seaside style and its one of the most well equipped cottages I've been in. There was a welcome tray with tea, biccies and wine and even something for pooch. The stairs are quite steep which is something to be aware of. The bed was really comfortable at first but the plastic backed mattress protector soon made us hot an sticky - I realise this is probably a necessary evil but perhaps there is an alternative which would prove more comfortable. That said, I would definitely return to the cottage and recommend it to everyone.”

Customer reviews

“The cottage was the best I have stayed in. It was decorated and furnished to a very high standard. The seating and beds were very comfortable and the pillows and bedding were of a high standard. Ornaments and pictures very nautical with humorous wooden signs around the cottage. The garden was a great size and good for the dogs. Location was superb with shops, beach and great pubs within minutes.”

Mr Clarkson, Preston, April 2014

“This cottage has been beautifully renovated with much attention to detail. The beds are very comfy, as is the sitting room furniture. It was very peaceful being tucked away at the end of the lane, yet the little shops, cafes, pubs and the beach are literally just steps away. The dog-friendly beach was heaven for our black lab. Free WiFi and the Wii was heaven with 2 teenagers in tow!”

Mrs Beale, Salisbury, March 2014

“A perfect cottage in a wonderful location with great weather (for December). There was nothing not to like.”

Ms Gregory, London, December 2013

Mrs Hill, Chelmsford, November 2013

“The beach was very close by which made our daily morning walks with our dog very enjoyable. After a good day out it was always warm and inviting back at the cottage.”

Mr Souter, Leicester, October 2013

Mr Arscott, Markfield, August 2013

“A lovely, well-equipped cottage that made a very relaxing holiday. Shops, beach, pubs and a superb fish & chip shop only a short walk away. There is also a very nice garden with garden furniture. Highly recommended.”

Mr Fediw, Heanor, August 2013

“Lovely comfortable cottage with sunny garden for eating outside. Five minutes walk to sand/shingle beach and twenty Minutes walk to main town. The welcome tray was a nice touch and the owner was friendly and helpful.”

Mrs Saville, Newport, July 2013

“This was a great property, one of the best we have self catered in. The hospitality was excellent and very welcoming. The weather was kind to us all week, but had we experienced any wet weather you would not be disappointed in staying in for the day as this property provided for your every need.”

Mr Dalby, Leicester, June 2013

“The cottage had been updated and decorated beautifully, we were made to feel very welcome.”

Ms Aylward, Watford, May 2013

“The property was equipped to excellent standards and decorated with taste. It was very well equipped, had everything we needed and more, even a picnic crockery set! It was just right for a family of four, quite spacious and a lovely living space downstairs.”

Mrs Last, Eye, May 2013
