"The Cottage felt like Home! Perfect Stay for an Amazing blend of coastal-country experience."

10.0

The Cottage felt like Home! Very Clean and Well Mantained! Had everything we needed for cooking. Excelent Location! It's close to a Train line but the train activity is almost none and the house is so well insulated that you can't here nothing. Just pure silence and singing birds for a very peaceful sleeping time after long walks in the beautiful countryside scenery and nearby coastline trails!

That we had to Leave! ;)

"An enjoyable holiday cottage with a wonderful wooded location."

8.0

Lovely location and we were able to enjoy eating in the garden for most meals.

Dinning room was a bit cramped. Would have liked to have a microwave.

"Lovely few days exploring."

9.0

The property was in a great location for what we wanted to do - visiting Arne, Carey’s secret garden, the coast etc. The house is comfortable, well equipped and characterful. Lovely private gardens and despite being close to busy road and the railway line it felt peaceful.

"Great cottage for exploring region"

8.0

Peaceful location and a great base for exploring the nature reserves of the region. Large property, well resourced, traditionally styled, and large attractive garden.

Garden was unenclosed so you just need to keep dog on a lead (but we knew this when we booked)

"Rustic, leafy cottage"

7.0

Garden is wonderful. Lounge nice for our family's needs.

Dining room had no ambience, little space so we avoided using it.
