  Plenty of room and very homely. We had a very relaxing holiday. Lovely walks with Poppet our dog and the secure garden was a bonus. Lovely touch with the bics and milk for our cuppa when we arrived. Mandy was very friendly and her nursery next door had some very nice plants. Would definately recommend the cottage.

• "A lovely cosy cottage in a good location for both beaches and countryside."

  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

• "I struggled with the shower because it wasn't a walk in shower there was quite a step up into it, and if I hadn't taken my own suction handles I wouldn't have been able to have a shower."

  And I don't think one hand and 1 bath towel each is enough when there's no washing machine.

• "The location was great and the place was nice and well presented."

  We much appreciated being allowed to use the washing machine - a step beyond. There are two (first world) bits of feedback. 1. The Wi-Fi only works in the bedroom which is not great if you want to stream a movie. 2. We are not tall but the bed is short which we found it uncomfortable.

• "Lovely cottage, great dog friendly garden with small seating area."

  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! Liquid hand cleaner, washing up liquid and various cleaning item's. 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.

  The set up for our dog was perfect and we couldnt find any fault , she had a great time. The facilities couldnt have been any better. It is in a lovely peaceful location and only about 2 miles down a country lane to the local shops. The only appliance not at the property was a washing machine but as we were only there for 7 nights it wasnt a problem for us. Thankyou Mandy for making us feel very welcome

  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. Had a very nice chillin week.

  Fenced garden perfect for him and a peaceful place for me to sit and read in the sun. Lovely grounds to explore and plenty of local country walks. Only five touring caravans allowed on the adjacent camping site and these were not intrusive. 20mins to wide, open beaches for lots of walking and for my dog to play in the sea which was too cold for me other than to paddle! The weather was great and that helped to make this a really enjoyable holiday but, regardless, I will definitely go again to this place

  She had put the heating up which was a nice touch. Tea,coffee, milk and shortbread biscuits were very good on arrival. It was so quiet for our stay especially as it was half term. Weather not good enough to enjoy the garden but our dog would have been able to jump over the small wall around the patio. Fence just needs to be extended and then it would be much more secure. Lots of walks from the cottage but a torch is needed for night time. Loved listening to the Owls who raised a family this year.
