A great place for a break.
A great place for a break. The cottage was very cosy in a cool, wet October. Our only problem was the size and condition of the fridge. Could do with being updated. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

This was a real lastminute.
This was a real lastminute.com break and could not fault this place at all! Very comfortable, we was a group of six adults and dogs and didn’t feel cramped at all! Set out just right....a special mention to the little on site restaurant which was an absolute bonus and the food was fantastic! We didn’t so much exploring as was only there for a weekend but Holt was very close by and the pub The Pigs was great for a lunchtime pint. We will definitely be back at some point
