    “We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage.”

    It was comfortable for a family of 4 (including a baby) and a dog. We were impressed by how well equipped and how clean the kitchen was, making cooking our own meals straight forward. There were generous amounts of towels provided, and plenty of bedding and pillows. The whole house felt freshly decorated and well looked after. The location just off the high street, and not far from the beach, was brilliant. Providing a high chair and travel cot was very helpful, although the cot was the one ...

    It was comfortable for a family of 4 (including a baby) and a dog. We were impressed by how well equipped and how clean the kitchen was, making cooking our own meals straight forward. There were generous amounts of towels provided, and plenty of bedding and pillows. The whole house felt freshly decorated and well looked after. The location just off the high street, and not far from the beach, was brilliant. Providing a high chair and travel cot was very helpful, although the cot was the one item in the house that was well worn. However, it did the job for the week we were there. We would definitely consider returning to this cottage again in the future.

    Thank you for such a wonderful review! We are so pleased you had a wonderful holiday and enjoyed staying at the cottage. We aim to maintain it as if it were our own home, stylish, comfortable, freshly painted, clean and welcoming. Thank you for your feedback on the cot, we will be replacing it. We hope we have the opportunity to welcome you and your family back at No 7 again! Property Owner
