    A lovely peaceful getaway.

    Great location, peaceful, spacious and very comfortable. Lovely walks straight out the door on the sea wall. Good food nearby and boat trips too!

    Lovely historic cottage. Remote. Quiet and picturesque.

    Large gardens. Kitchen great. Sun room lovely. Welcome cake was delicious. Tea, coffee & milk supplied but 3 sugars only. Washing liquid and powder for washing machines.

    Quite a few cobwebs and some parts not been cleaned in a while. Understand this is a centuries old cottage. But just needs a better freshen up before each guest. Step into laundry and sunroom was loose and a hazard for eldery guests. Some windows and doors hard to open.

    Nette alte Hütte mit Charme, kein gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis

    Die Lage ist genial, das Haus ist eine echte historische Besonderheit, die Ausstattung sehr gut und viel Platz trotz niedriger Deckenhöhen. Sehr schöner Wintergarten und Garten. In der Ecke Urlaub zu machen würden wir nicht empfehlen, da kann man als deutscher Tourist schon bessere Küstenabschnitte in England finden - unsere ganz persönliche Meinung.

    Parken war komplett nervtötend, da man zwar Kennzeichen angibt, um auf einem Anwohnerparkplatz zu parken, aber der Parkplatz ist überfüllt, wenn in dem Ort viel los ist, da sich nicht alle daran halten. Das Haus ist halt alt und war nicht an allen Stellen vorbildlich sauber. Die Betten waren eher durchgelegen, das ganze Interieur passend zum Haus alt und benutzt. Küche und vor allem Bäder aber auf neuestem Stand. Insgesamt war es vor allem eins: viel zu teuer im Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis.
