We loved our stay, the cottage was small but clean, modern and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable with decent mattresses and the kitchen was well stocked. The pool was fabulous, even on a cloudy day the kids loved it and the poolside area is a little suntrap. The playground was a great bonus for the kids too. Wed love to come back!

A lovely cottage highly recommend, spotlessly clean and not too far from amenities. We enjoyed our stay, hope to go back next year.

Lovely cottage, in a wonderful setting, with everything you could need. We took our dog and he had a great area in the garden to run around in. You do need a car to get around unless you are happy to spend your time in Westward Ho! which is about 15 mins walk up a narrow road and then down, fairly steep, along footpaths. Overall a great holiday andRead more would highly recommend. Hide

We loved our stay here. The cottage was lovely and clean and had everything we needed for the week. The owner was lovely and friendly. There was a field where we could let our dog have a good run around which was a massive bonus. Would definitely recommend to anyone and would stay there again. Location was fab for all the places we went to.
