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. The garden was perfect for our dog and two small children. Just a short walk to the beach and village! We can't wait to come back again.

Lovely 2 bed cottage in the hosts grounds. The views were great and the enclosed garden was perfect for our dog. It was a little hard to find but well worth the extra effort. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

Fabulous place to stay!

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. The owners of the property were very helpful and considerate and went the extra mile to make sure we had a great stay. We will definitely be back!

Best Christmas break ever!

My adult daughter and I stayed here with our two dogs so that we could have our own space whilst visiting family nearby. The bungalow was absolutely perfect for us; well equipped kitchen, very comfortable beds, dog friendly, enclosed garden with fabulous views and lots of lovely walks nearby. Host was extremely welcoming and helpful. We will most certainly be returning. Thoroughly recommend.

Great location

Very quiet and private location even though it’s next to the owners property. Stunning countryside view and some great dogs walks from the doorstep. Nice welcoming biscuits and tea coffee and milk on arrival. The cottage is a little tired in places but felt comfortable and the dogs were very secure in the garden. An enjoyable 4 days with excellent communication with the owner. Thank you.

Hawkern cottage

We have just returned from a week at this fabulous property ran by Claire and her husband, it was well equipped and Claire was very helpful and friendly. We loved the view from the patio and both said how lovely and quiet it was, we got lucky with the weather and there’s lots of walks from the property so we didn’t have to use the car much at all.

Fabulously chilled stay

Cottage is in the owner’s house grounds but very private & quiet. Claire was very welcoming & helpful about the local area. Kitchen was extremely well equipped, beds very comfortable & overall a lovely stay. The village is a short walk & I can recommend the community shop, the mill and the pub. All in all can be thoroughly recommended.
