We had a lovely stay here as a family of 4 with 2 teenagers and 2 labradors. The views over the river and village bowling green were lovely. The hot tub was great and very clean. We got very lucky with the weather too and had a bbq on 2 of the nights. We had Asda deliver food on the night we arrived. Beds were lovely and comfortable, as was the sofa and the kitchen was well equipped. There are lots of lovely walking trails close by and the beach is a short drive away.

Cottage was lovely & situated in a nice quiet village, ideal for a chilled, relaxing holiday, only downfall was it states pet friendly but pets are not allowed by the living room which meant a member of our party had to sleep on couch to be near to the dog & it doesn’t state this when booking, which I think it should, dogs should at least be allowed in the downstairs bedroom, apart from that we enjoyed our break & the hot tub was great for relaxing in at night.
