  • "Yes we loved the place."

    Very comfortable and everything we needed. We would suggest a small coffee table or small nest of tables in the front room - for card games, coffee etc when sat on the sofas.

    Nice and clean on arrival with lots of goodies left for us which was most appreciated. Comfortable sofas to relax on after a day of walking and a comfy bed to retire to. Would be more than happy to return to this holiday cottage by the sea.

  • "Pleasantly surprised at location to beach ."

    Beautiful views and walks . Property was clean and had everything needed for our stay . Parking at property was good . Would stay again only drawback is bathroom access via main bedroom but as it was only 2 of us it didn’t matter but as we sometimes holiday with grandchildren might have been bit inconvenient . Stairs were very steep if anyone had mobility issues or was elderly . Welcome pack appreciated . Within walking distance was dog friendly pubs .Shops and chip shop .

    The welcome pack of milk, wine, bread, butter etc was an unexpected treat. The position of the cottage is just amazing, a minute’s walk to the beach and a wonderful pub overlooking the sea! Everything you could possibly want is on your doorstep. I highly recommend this property.

  • "The house was spotless and in a great location."

    A very short walk to the dog friendly beach with a friendly pub and local shop nearby. Not a noisy area, just the sort of place that we like to stay. Supermarket a few miles away and good base for travelling to other places along the coast. Great communication with the property owner.

  • "Great break at Sole Bay Cottage, fantastic location, very thoughtful welcome pack which was very much appreciated and enjoyed."

    Host was very responsive with any questions we had. My only recommendations would be to include a file with information on house tips, rubbish disposal, secret pan draw in the kitchen, etc and to install a couple of towel rails in the bathroom for wet towels. Otherwise the most perfect stay and will definitely be returning at another time.

  • "Lovely little house right by the sea."

    Warm and comfortable with everything you need. Generous welcome pack. Great pub and chippy with a couple of minutes walk. Front door lock is a bit tricky could probably do with sorting out. Overall great stay.

  • "We had a lovely stay in the cottage, lovely and clean, comfy beds, great shower."

    Everything we needed was there, and to arrive to milk in the fridge and some added extras were very welcome after travelling. Lovely quiet location close to the sea, shop just a few minutes walk away. (To the owners just a small suggestion, some tape under the rug to keep it secure, and a front door mat to wipe your feet on) Very pleased with the accomodations, Thank you.
