The accommodation was very welcoming & lots of thought had gone into making it suitable for all needs.

Every thing else was thoughtfully provided & I would have no hesitation In recommending the property to anyone. We hope to return soon.

"This is a lovely cottage with a fantastic view."
The inside is spacious for one-bedroom accommodation and it was beautifully decorated and clean inside.
As a full-time wheelchair user I managed really well inside as the doors are wide and it has a lovely wet room, however I feel I should point out the cottage is accessible but not adapted for a wheelchair user. The kitchen cupboards, sink and wardrobes are high. We were also surprised to find there is a high step down onto the patio/garden area as this looks to have level access on the website. However, the owner did offer us a ramp which would have helped us but the patio door also had a high lip so would not be practical for an electric wheelchair user even with a ramp for the step.
These are all minor issues however and there are lots of plus points to this lovely property. We would go again.

The property was lovely and clean and the owners were very helpful and friendly as had a couple of problems with the tv to start with the wet room was not very good I asked for a stool which was going to come from storage it never turned up the wet room is back to front the shower area should have been where the toilet was and vice verser as you have to walk though water after you’ve dried yourself and you had to keep turning the shower off while you washed yourselves as the water goes into the bedroom I suggest that the owners shower in it so they can see what we mean we used to own a guest house and if we had any work done on any of the rooms we would try them out before any guest stayed in them to make sure everything was fine, the bed was much to hard as were the pillows we recommend anti allergy memory foam pillows, we had plenty of crockery and cutlery except for tea spoons there could be another couple or three in the draw as we kept having to wash spoons up but other then that we found the views really good

We particularly appreciated the spacious layout of the bedroom (it being suitable for a wheelchair user). We are not wheelchair uses ourselves but welcomed the space, and ability to pack cases away. Too many cottage bedrooms are too tight for comfort.
We were also glad of the well-stocked pack of domestic accessories, and enjoyed the opportunity to photograph the sunrise from our bedroom.
