Lovely cottage perfect for getting away from it all, either with kids or dogs the grounds are amazing to explore. Lynda was very accommodating and always on hand to help with anything but respects your privacy also. The cottage was spacious and full of character just perfect and very reasonable price for the summer hols. Had everything we needed.Only negative if any was the location it is quite a drive to the coast and nothing much locally to do but perfect for walking and enjoying the countyside if that’s what you want. Definitely recommend No Place.

Very pleasant stay and Lynda was a great host. Highly recommend this lovely cottage - clean and comfortable in very nice setting, with a lovely garden and woods. Our kids especially enjoyed it. Lots to see and do in the nearby area - we visited Westward Ho! for surfing lessons at easter time, brisk but fun!

Our stay was nothing but perfect - from the welcome bundle of crisps and local cider to kids' games, comfort of all the beds and the picturesque grounds that we got to enjoy every day as part of our rental. The hosts were non intrusive hit easily contactable should we need anything before or during our stay. The grounds were kept exceptional as was the cottage (aside from a few places where dust had settled e.g. in cupboards but that was very very minor). Highly recommend and the area of course is so tranquil yet easily accessible to nature filled places and adventure parks for the little ones. Thank you!

Disliked: Location
Accommodation was ok, it could do with a bit of updating decor wise. You will definitely need a car to get around as it is quite remote. Hosts were very responsive when we asked them about the heating which they had to adjust for us as there was no way of controlling it ourselves. Towels definitely need an upgrade. Very pet friendly.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry about the heating but we were caught out by an unseasonably chilly evening, with our air source heat pump. The log burner was there to boost the temperature, if needed. The cottage is regularly updated and the bedroom and bathroom were decorated over the 2025 winter.

Beautiful cottage, with super lovely garden/grounds - woodland walk, tree house and other walks right on the doorstep. The cottage is spacious with a triple room downstairs and a bathroom/double bedroom upstairs. The upstairs bedroom has good blackout blinds and there was plenty of storage space, and room for travel cot if required. There is a comfy sofa, dining room table and TV with good internet connection.There is an undercover fridge with small freezer built in, along with a washing machine and even a bottle cooler.There is a storage box in the porch full of kids board games and bats /balls. The garden is at the front of the property (along with parking), and is enclosed with some big gates. We had a dog that doesn't mix well with other dogs/people and Lynda made sure to keep their dogs in a separate part of the property. Access to the property for deliveries/visitors is through the enclosed area.The cottage is located around 30 minutes from the beach- we found Westward Ho! the most accessible for our elderly dog. Nearby we highly recommend the The Old Farmhouse Kitchen and Tearoom for a wonderful afternoon tea.The cottage is an excellent price.We really enjoyed our stay and were sad to have to leave early due to a medical issue. Thanks so much for having us to stay!

We felt very welcome to explore the grounds, the gardens were beautiful and every corner there was something to see, like a ‘Secret Garden’, me and my Lab had big smiles on our faces exploring, especially the meadow.

Great short stay

The house was clean and fully equipped. It was a bit on the chilly side in early April, but we lit the fire a couple of times which really helped to warm the cottage up. The owners were really helpful, friendly and accommodating, and it was reassuring they were just next door to assist with anything. We had a great few days exploring the coast mainly and the cottage was a fantastic base for us!

Fabulous cottage in a stunning location

My family and I had a wonderful time during our stay. Upon arrival we were stunned by the setting which included woodland, a wild flower meadow and a tranquil pond teeming with wildlife - perfect for spending some quality time as a family. The cottage is well equipped, clean and cosy. A real home from home. Lynda made us feel immediately welcome and recommended some local highlights to visit including some stunning beaches and scenic walks. I can't recommend the cottage, or the hosts, highly enough.
