The cottage was situated in a beautiful area, was quiet and had lovely views. There were many local walks and it was close to the South West Coast Path. The Host was very helpful with advice on the local area and easy to contact. It is a lovely property for small dogs and we were able to walk into the village, visiting the Mill and local pub. The kitchen is well equipped and the tea, coffee, milk and biscuits left for guests were much appreciated.

This was our second visit, and once again, was the perfect place to stay with brilliant hosts. Lovely bungalow, with plenty of space, and fully equipped with everything you could need.

Perfect place to stay for a young family and dog! Great size rooms, safe and secure garden, and everything you could need for a short break. Lots of lovely local walks - including to the coastal path, and information left at the property to help you find local places to visit.
