Beautiful property, really well equipped with a very welcome bottle of wine, bread, cheese, eggs & fruit. Location was perfect, quiet with spectacular views but near to the coast as well. Will definitely be back.

We booked The Manger for a week's holiday but left after just one night.The listing describes the garden as enclosed, but also says it's not fully dog-proof due to the hedging, and makes no mention of close proximity to grazing cattle. Had this been clearer, we wouldn't have booked with our rescue dogs.Within five minutes of letting one of our dogs into the garden, he got through into the adjacent cattle field and was running amongst the herd. It was a heart-stopping experience, and we did not feel we could responsibly continue our stay.We also found the property to be grubby, with a significant number of flies throughout, which felt unhygienic. The shower pressure was extremely poor and the bedroom became uncomfortably hot.We contacted the owners immediately to explain why we were leaving. Following the complaint process, no refund was offered; instead, the booking agent offered a 150 goodwill voucher towards a future stay.Paying almost 2,000 for a one-night stay was incredibly upsetting. We had also paid for the insurance options offered at booking, received no refund, and then had the additional cost of arranging alternative accommodation at short notice. The accommodation we found afterwards was, in our opinion, of a much higher standard and cost around half the price, leaving us feeling that The Manger represented poor value for money.This is simply our experience, but I hope it helps future guests (especially dog-owners) make an informed decision.

Wonderful long weekend

This is a most beautiful property. The online details are very accurate. The views are amazing - every time we looked out of the window, we just said "wow"! The kitchen is extremely well appointed and the welcome hamper was superb - milk, eggs, muesli, biscuits, cake, fresh fruit, orange juice, bread etc. During our stay we were also given a delightful jar of homemade strawberry & rhubarb jam. Delicious! The owners were very welcoming and helpful. The only one thing I would say is that the website was not clear on the extra cost for a dog. It stated that there would be a charge but not what that charge would be. The garden is fabulous for a dog but the boundary between this property and the other holiday cottage mean that a dog can easily run through. Luckily our dog was a little large to get through but for smaller dogs it is something to be aware of. In summary, we had the most amazing long weekend and would thoroughly recommend this property.
