  The cottage is in a lovely location on a private estate.

  We liked the ability to open the windows to allow air into the property, plus the blinds to cover the windows helped to reduce light during the early hours of the morning. The binder with instructions on the various devices was very useful. Kitchen worked as it should but it could do with a large frying pan. The shower was overall good but we found that the boiler would lose pressure every few days so we just increased the pressure for a couple of seconds until the needle got to the recommended mark and the shower would then contintue to run warm/hot. The shower head is a little stiff but that's more down to the hard water so if someone has tried to adjust the jet then it might not lock in place and hence water shoots through the top and wets the bathroom, fan in bathroom wasn't working but not an issue. Main double bed is on the firm side which initially isn't ab issue but on the last two nights we started to feel it so might be an issue for some. The bunk room is only suitable for primary aged children which wasn't an issue for us though. The chill out room is great for kids to play, stairs are a little steep and exposed at the top but a toy box covered that part and wasnt an issue but others would need to be aware if they have smaller children. Cottage generally clean, just a few cob webs in bathroom corners but otherwise clean duvets are showing their age and could do with replacing. The small front garden isn't enclosed but that's stated on the site but gets the sun during the day which is good. Overall good and we enjoyed our stay.

  The house was generally very warm and comfortable, and it was very clean when we arrived.

  We enjoyed the views from the lounge and master bedroom, despite the somewhat grey and damp weather! The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans etc, and the welcome cream tea was lovely! The king size bed was extremely comfortable but the two single beds were quite soft so our parents found their backs aching a bit by the end of the week. It would be helpful to include in the property description that the lounge is upstairs - this is not currently in the listing (I re-checked) and we may have thought twice about booking had we known, as we travelled with elderly parents who struggle with stairs. The sofa was quite low and soft which again, made it difficult for the older members of our party. There were plenty of items in the property to provide entertainment (both indoor and outdoor) which is throughtful, plus a folder full of detailed local information. The TV and washing machine were quite old - they did work but we are used more modern (and have experienced better in other holiday cottages) but overall, this house provided what we needed for an early break away.

  We really had a great time in your cottage.

  The location and views are great. The cottage itself was lovely and the equipment / utensils were appropriate. Some things to consider when renting to 6 adults or more are: Additional light in the living room by left hand corner so that it is bright to play cards etc in the evening. An additional comfy chair in the living room for all people to comfortably see the tv. The L shape does not lend itself to this. Someone needs to sit on a chair or the floor. Seat covers for all the hard chairs when seated for meals. There needs to be a proviso that the drive cannot take 3 large cars. This would cause a potential risk of accident as it would jut out on to the road. A great place to stay overall with a lovely walk down to the pub and bistro as well as low tide walks around both sides of the bay to Llanddona Beach and Benllech

  Wow! Where do I start?! We have stayed in cottages all over the country and this gem of a place has been the best! Lovely helpful owners who told us about some fantastic place to visit. The welcome hamper was amazing and the freshest eggs from the cottages new chickens! The cottage was so comfortable and cosy and had everything you could possibly need, set in a stunning little village. The walks from the cottage were superb. If you don’t fancy cooking there are numerous places nearby to eat for example Millers farm shop for breakfast and snacks and a little shopping, to Tuckers thatched pub just a few miles away. I would recommend River Cottage Kitchen in Axminster for an evening meal, delicious! Over all I would absolutely return to this cottage. We simply did not want to leave! Thank you 😊

  Really nice cottage, although all on different levels the rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Bathroom was beautiful, but in the basement, this meant having to navigate the winding narrow staircase down two floors from the bedroom, definitely not for the faint hearted or anybody slightly infirm. Superb welcome hamper was very welcome. Safe easy parking for the car. Small but well kept village location, nothing there but the Kings Arms pub, which was very welcoming serving good food and dogs welcome. Long drive to anywhere of interest along narrow twisting lanes for miles. Craig who met and us on arrival proved to be a very good and always on hand when needed. Overall a pleasurable three day stay. Fully recommended, but not for anybody unsteady on the legs because of the stairs.
