There was nothing to dislike.

''We fell in love with the cottage before we even stepped inside. Once inside we fell even more in love. The cottage was beautifully appointed with everything you need for a short or longer stay. The backdrop was incredible with views across the bay. Location was fantastic.''

Looking forward to coming back.''

The cottage is wonderfully located and tranquil with a lovely in and out flow. Everything you need for a relaxed holiday including kayaks for the water. Very nice welcome basket as well as a good vegetable plot to use. Highly recommend staying at the cottage.

Very peaceful and relaxing cottage. Estuary views, lovely garden and comfortable decking space. Everything provided internally with a special owners touch ( flowers , and basket of treats ). Very clean, with good linen, comfortable furniture and sufficient heating. I am recommending Bronte.

Wonderful place, loved staying there.
Bronte Tides Cottage is a very special place with stunning views of the tidal estuary and sunrises. I stayed for 3 weeks and was delighted to find it even had an office room, which I could use for yoga as well as carrying on my business. Sunny and warm when the sun shines, and has a fire for the colder months.
