On entering the cottage you can't fail to be stunned by how perfect everything is and the way the cottage has been built incorporating the local geology is impressively amazing! We throughly enjoyed our stay and the location is so convenient for accessing so much to do in the area. The hosts were very friendly and the goodies they left for us was very much appreciated! Although close to the A40 we very quickly zoned it out and it became similar to waves crashing on the beach!! We fully recommend this cottage!

The cottage was perfectly presented, spotlessly clean and furnished comfortably. Superb bathroom and shower. Lovely little veranda off the bedroom with table & chairs for relaxing. They have thought of everything which made our stay that much better. Easy access to local attractions too.

The place was spotlessly clean and the owners were very welcoming. I could not rate it highly enough.
