The cottage is warm and welcoming, beautifully decorated with every amenity you could wish for. The setting is peaceful relaxing yet close to a quaint town with the best fish and chips. Definitely worth a repeat visit. Fiona and Scott are wonderful inviting hosts
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage. It was lovely and comfortable, cozy and all the details were perfectly attended to. Our host was friendly and very helpful with local information and made sure we had a few helpful things in the kitchen to get us started on arrival. Fiona is really lovely and we would love to return to this wonderful area of the countryside. The location is central for day trips and there are tons of hidden gems. The morning walks are gorgeous and there are so many friendly lambs and dogs to get to know. We loved it !
