Gill & Chris were great communicators and have a gorgeous thatched home. The pool was surprisingly large and at a perfect heated temperature. With a real wood fire, plenty of games to play, and brilliant location for coastal walks, it was the most fantastic setting for a long weekend.

Summer holiday

Our extended family really enjoyed their stay.Comfortable cottage although lay out of bathrooms not very convenient. Great location and excellent pool and games room. Bjørn the chef gave us a lovely meal. Some garden furniture in the lawned garden would have been nice - outside dining table was in the car park.

Lovely quiet break

Amazing cottage, lovely size indoor pool which was fab for rainy days. The owners catered for everything you can think of, with plenty of things to do inside. Pool, air hockey, table tennis and more. You do need a car to get to the shops as it’s quite a walk on foot. Great for large groups as there is plenty of room here.

Beautiful cottage, endless fun

Me and my family ages ranging from 66 - 6 thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the pool was amazing and well used by all, the cottage was clean and well equipped for all 10 of us and the games room was an added bonus. Although the weather wasn't on our side - the door into the pool room from the cottage was so handy! We would 100% recommend this cottage and nothing was too much trouble for the owners.
