  : Whilst the cottage was generally clean, it could do with a refresh and there were cobwebs everywhere (including in the doorway to the main bedroom, which would not have taken much effort to remove). Just seemed a shame and an easy fix as otherwise liked it!

  : Cosy, quirky cottage with an extremely comfortable bed. The hamlet is peaceful and picturesque with lots of fabulous dog walks on the designated footpaths around the cottage. Half an hour to the coast and 10 minutes to shops for your supplies (no welcome pack or village amenities so remember to bring everything with you).
  : The cottage is adequate for a couple of nights, but compared to many that we have rented it is sparsely equipped. There were no teaspoons (not the end of the world!). The sofa is extremely uncomfortable although it suited the room.We arrived to a myriad of cobwebs and floor fluff indicating that it hadn't been cleaned for our arrival. The stairs!! We looked at them aghast when we first arrived, but had mastered the knack by the end of our stay. I do feel they should be mentioned in the cottage description as older, less stabilised folk might struggle and find them dangerous.The quirkiness of the property helps you to forgive the errors on the owners part and it truly is a 'get away from the world' bolthole.

  : Although a bit hard to find, once we did were very happy with the cozy and quirky cottage. The summer house was an added bonus and a brilliant place for coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening with friends.
  : Oddly couldnt find any scissors which would have been handy and more regular drinking glasses would also have been nice. I dont mind soda or orange juice in a wine glass but my husband isnt that fancy

  : We loved the quiet location, such a pretty traditional cottage. The books were a marvellous selection, both downstairs and in the little upstairs study. Although the stairs were very steep they were easy to manage using the rope on the wall, and coming down backwards was a great tip. We didnt need to use the kitchen much as after breakfast we were out but appreciated all the facilities provided. The garden and summer house were lovely too. The bed was so comfortable. We stayed four nights, and would definitely stay again if visiting that area.
  : We did think the cottage needed a deeper clean. We stripped down the kitchen draining rack ourselves as it had mould, easy to take apart, superficially looked clean but muck was accumulating. When I bent down to plug my hairdryer in the study I put my face into cobwebs. I do like spiders, they keep the flies away, but that wasnt a welcome encounter! These are small comments, its gorgeous there, really!

  : Cosy, everything we needed for self catering and comfortable bed
  : Stairs were very steep and twisty, you had to be careful especially with a suitcase in your hand. But they added to the charm!
