    Beautiful house, lovely location and lots of things to keep the kids and adults entertained. Louise was very helpful and flexible with check in/out times so we all left happy. Would definitely recommend for a family get together or a group of friends.

  • "Absolutely lovely old cottage in a quiet viallage, 45 minutes drive to the coast."

    We enjoyed all the 'get together' spaces offered, especially the outside eating and BBQ area. Louise is helpful and responsive, and was quick to help out when we left a valuable item behind.

  • "We had a fantastic weekend stay!"

    The house itself was great, very clean, and a wonderful space for us to relax and enjoy our time together. Louise was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond for us. Not only was she very accommodating by allowing us both an early check-in and a late check-out, but she also put up a birthday banner and left a lovely note for my mum’s birthday, such a thoughtful touch that she truly appreciated. To top it all off, Louise went the extra mile after we departed. We accidentally left a hat behind, and she was kind enough to post it right back to us. Fantastic house, excellent hospitality, and a great experience overall. I highly recommend staying here!

  • "Louise was easy to communicate with and very friendly and flexible."

    She allowed us a later checkout on Sunday as we wanted to grab lunch before travelling home. The house was just lovely, so quirky and full of fun things to do. (We had pretty bad weather). We had my 84 year old mother with us and Louise was happy for her to sleep downstairs as she may have had difficulty navigating the stairs on her own in the night. There was plenty of space for our family to spread out. The dogs loved the large garden and were safe as it was fenced. All in all we had a lovely family break.

  • "We had a wonderful weekend at Louise's place."

    It is a really special, beautiful old house in a great setting. We didn't go far at all as we were so happy in the garden. Nice, local walks. Good playground in the village for the kids. Louise was very responsive and welcoming in her communication. We loved it!

  • "I honestly don’t think I can say enough positive words about this stay, just wow!"

    The property is absolutely beautiful, gorgeously decorated and in the most perfectly scenic location. Louise, the host, was just incredible. She was so responsive to any questions I had, very accommodating to make us feel welcome, and went above and beyond to make our special weekend that little bit more special. I could not fault our experience at all and would already love to come back. Thank you Louise for everything!

    NatashaApr 2026

  • "Beautiful place - it is "lived in" but its history and decor is magical - huge space great for winters with all the roaring fires or summers with the wonderful garden."

    We had a fab time, thank you!

    SuzanneApr 2026

  • "This place absolutely blew us away."

    Went with 6 of us for my 30th and was the most atmospheric and beautiful building I've ever stayed in. Louise was so responsive and lovely, and really went the extra mile wherever she could. We are already talking about booking again!

    JoshMar 2026

  • "The loveliest hosts I have ever had on Airbnb!"

    Stayed for a long weekend with friends to celebrate my 30th birthday and Louise went above and beyond to make us comfortable, including flexible check in/out times, birthday decorations hung up, local walking routes shared and wood and drinks stocked up. The home itself is super characterful, cosy, and spacious. We spent lots of time relaxing in the sunroom and around the firepit, and our dogs loved running round the garden. Very comfortable beds and all the amenities you would need supplied. A wonderful stay with lots of little touches!

  • "We had a wonderful stay at Louise’s with friends and pups."

Enter and you are greeted by a farmhouse-style kitchen/diner that feels like the heart of the home, complete with a woodburning stove and plenty of room for cooking, chatting and lingering over meals.

A light-filled sunroom lounge provides a more laid-back space for summer evenings, while elsewhere on the ground floor you will find a utility room with WC, a formal dining room with an impressive inglenook fireplace and woodburner, and a second lounge with its own inglenook, perfect for curling up with a book or a favourite film.

There is ample on-site parking, making arrivals and departures refreshingly easy.
