Our three generation family enjoyed a wonderful holiday at this beautiful house. The location is so peaceful and charming yet only a short drive from many places of interest. The care and thought that has gone into equipping the house is outstanding and we particularly appreciated the provision for children. Our 2 year old loved the garden with itsRead more swings and delightful Wendy house. The adults too enjoyed the tranquillity. It was lovely to sit out and watch the sheep grazing, the house martins circling and even an occasional owl swooping over the garden. We hope to come back. Hide

Only problem we had was heating was not on when we got there - this should clearly have been checked before our arrival - that said orig cottages did call me out of hours to help and all was working next morning after the maintenance guys had been. Otherwise lovely property very clean and well maintained. I think the old coastal cottages idea of a Read morenice little food pack would be a good addition. Just had milk tea bags loaf and cake maybe a pack of biscuits but did make the experience that bit more personal !!! Hide
