I honestly couldnât fault anything. The bedroom with profiling bed was excellent and the wet room with wheel in chair in that room met all our sons needs and more. The kitchen exceeds expectations and had everything we could possibly need. The seating in the lounge was comfortable and we could see it had been made higher so was easy to get up from. The patio area was fantastic for sunny days (we had a few). Laundry facilities excellent in the garage and you could lock the door while not in use. The village is lovely with 2 great pubs, fish & chips, 2 cafes and a couple of small shops plus a lovely bakery. You have to drive down to it of mobility is limited but this wasnât a problem as the car park is free if you hold a blue badge plus there is a tiny area of disabled parking next to the church. All in all this was the best accommodation we have stayed in and itâs a shame itâs so far away for us. If it was closer we would definitely have used it again

The house is perfect and owners are very responsive. Nice quality features throughout. We struggled to turn down the heating so didnât get to use the log fire. Underfloor heating was welcomed especially first thing. Very happy overall.

It looked perfect for my parents, Mum uses a wheel chair so the open plan part of the main house looked amazing and a riser/recliner exactly like her one at home, brilliant. the offer of a hospital bed, great, she uses one at home............sadly all was not as it appeared in the pics when we arrived. The Fabric chair had been replaced with a leather type very unstable one. It was quite frankly awful and certainly not fit for a disabled person to use. So much so that mum actually slipped out one evening and we had to lift her up from the floor. Everytime she tried to get up the chair slid backwards so one of us had to stand behind it. The hospital bed looked ok but the mattress was so soft, when she sat on the edge it disappeared below the wooden rails which then cut into the back of her legs. In the separate wet room, the loo wouldnt flush properly and the cistern was quite loose. The kitchen was well equipped but as in previous comments some of the baking tins need replacing as do many of the light bulbs!! The furniture in the main living area was unusable for 6 out of 8 of us as it was very low and saggy. Even those of us without any issues couldnt get up once down! the dining room chairs werent much better and not having at least one with arms meant my mum had to stay in her wheelchair instead of being able to use a proper chair. The floors are very slippery and the room with on ensuit wet room/hospital bed is furthest from the main living area. The cottage is on a very steep hill so if you are a wheelchair user who isnt able to use one of the giant tramper thingys then it means taking the car down to the beach. Theres no way you could push a wheelchair down and certainly not up that hill. Its also to much for anyone elderly or a little unsteady. Obviously these things are not down to the onwers but I feel these details may be helpful to other people looking to come to the area, which is lovely. Sadly I cant comment on what the owners are like as they didnt bother to come and introduce themselves. A couple of days seems to be the standard response time to a text message. There are no instructions for the oven and as happens over time the makings have worn off.....No instruction for anything, no leaflets, no visitors book. Its a lovely property that needs a bit of TLC. Sadly it wasnt as suitable as I had hoped for my parents but every party has different needs
