What our guests say ...
- Adam18 May 2025Lovely place to stay! Immaculate & stunning views. The cream teas & biscuits were delicious. Highly recommend!read moreread less
- Calum05 May 2025Tess is truly a wonderful host. Both she and Charlie made us feel most welcome and were very helpful. The cottage is really comfortable and the gardens lovely. It is such a peaceful spot but still just a short drive to the coast and the busy spots. Feeding the lambs was a real highlight and it was most relaxing wandering around the farm amongst all of the animals. I highly recommend Tess’s beautiful cottage and I’m sure we’ll be back.read moreread less
