Magnificent and relaxing
We had a wonderful time at the house. It was very homely and had everything we needed. It was really close to walk to the beach and shops as well. Susan also had left us some cheese, strawberries, biscuits and chocolate which was a lovely touch. We would happily stay here again

Quaint cottage in quiet street
We spent five nights here and chose the locations as it was equidistant from the various family members we planned visit and also close to the beach. The cottage was comfy and the host friendly and helpful. Very convenient off street parking right outside the door.

We loved staying here, every little detail of the decor was beautiful and her plants were so wonderfully loved. There was a lovely surprise in the fridge but we didn’t get a chance to enjoy. We would definitely stay here again if we were staying in the area Thanks Susan ❤️

just gorgeous
After having stayed at the Cottage ourselves, purchased a visit for my daughter and son in law. Upon entering they were immediately mesmerised by the gorgeous, fun, and comfortable furnishings. The cottage was beautifully appointed, clean and welcoming with the heater on and a cosy couch waiting. Thank you for all that you did.

Cosy
Such a delightful, cosy, little nest. The hosts have provided absolutely everything you could need during a stay - and more. Spotlessly clean and lovingly filled with happy, healthy indoor plants - the cottage has a very welcoming atmosphere. Close to cafes, train station, beach, walks - great location. Would gladly stay again.
