Plenty of walks on the doorstep for walking with or without a dog and a safe secure garden . The cottage was pretty well equipped only a couple of minor issues , eg nowhere to dry wet clothes or beach towels and a mat is definitely needed in the shower as it gets very slippy when wet. Other than that we had a really good holiday at Primrose Cottage

Lovely to have tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits supplied. Also extras supplied that we didn't expect were tea towels, dishwasher tablet's....very useful!

Only negative is that there is no shaver point for charging shaver and tooth brushes and a hair dryer would be useful but this did not stop us enjoying the cottage and it's location, nice to have use of tenis court and walks around grounds and surrounding countryside. You need a car as several miles from shop's/beaches. We found Mandy really helpful and very welcoming and was a pleasure to chat to. We would definitely recommend and return to this delightful place.

Whilst small, the living room and bedroom were surprisingly spacious (bed very comfortable). The TV is a smart tv but I took my Amazon box to watch Netflix etc whilst away. A small garden with a patio and grassed area to let the dog out at night before bed, but you could take the dog a walk up the lane to woodland or around the grounds (pond you can walk around) and small caravan site. 20 minutes and you are at a lovely dog friendly beach where we let the pooch run free, other interesting areas nearby if you want but we booked to get away from the dreaded fireworks and it did the job and am going back at New Year.
