On the first-floor you will also find a second sitting room with striking blue walls, fashionable blue leather sofas and an old fashioned style carpet, ideal for catching up on your favourite TV shows. With eye-catching blue tiles, a bespoke recycled glass worktop and ample amenities, cook up a storm in the kitchen. The charm of the living areas continues into three bedrooms, including a double with amazing estuary and countryside views through a large window, housing a window seat ideal for morning coffee, and two twin bedrooms, one outfitted in orange and the other in blue.

  • Neil

    Only one small downside. The offstreet parking would struggle to accommodate a large SUV or estate car.

  • Pauline

    A lovely location in terms of the village and great walks. Loved the kitchen facilities which were very well stocked for home cooking. Great wifi. Found some parts of some toys (Lego and some game cards) under one of the settees on the ground floor when looking for an item of ours that had rolled under it. Too many flights of steps for those with a young baby. Not sure about some of the art (painted wooden boards and shed door). House located in a backwater with parking a nightmare to get in and out of. Had a neighbour requesting that we move our parked car from the allocated space on the day of departure at 9.30am so that they could get their own car out which was not great when trying to pack up and go. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

    So nice to find rental property with personality in the decor and a bit of soul. Loved the beautiful garden and fabulous views too. We'll be back for sure.
