    We were greeted with a delicious welcome pack and milk. The cottage is homely with gorgeous beams showing a much older heritage than the outside suggests. It's well equipped, and the beds are comfy. Thank you Bella, and apologies as we forgot to write in the book.

    It's on the corner of a narrow single lane with no stopping possibilities to offload a car without blocking the road. The garage is a strange construction and to get in would require reversing off of the main road up the one way street (uphill) into the garage over a hump diagonally. We found nearby street parking a better option, but for a smaller car it should be ok!

    A great option for a family of 5 Despite only booking about an hour before we arrived, the owners were quick to respond and the issue caused by our late booking (garage key not onsite) this was resolved quickly and juice and milk was provided by the owner also. Good cooking facilities. We didn't use, but there's a nice outside terrace and clothes washing facilities.

    There wasn't anything we did not like. We would have loved to have been able to have a little history on the property/ village available to read while in the cottage. We did not like that we had to leave 🙂

    We loved the location. A short walk into lyme regis. A pub across the road and a garage/ shop 5 minutes walk. The garden terrace and off road parking were great. The cottage was very dog friendly. The bath was lovely and the water hot. We loved the option for the sink in the garage and the facilities to allow us to wash and dry clothes. What a beautiful quirky cottage !

    Nothing - it was fantastic

    The cottage was very clean, comfortable, great location and super dog friendly Even better that the cottage had a joining garage. Excellent garden which is fully secure for dogs. The hot water was always a great warm/hot temperature. Lots of fidget space. The owners of the cottage left a great and informative list. I love the fact they encourage recycling. The bed was really comfortable, as was the sofa. Each room was very light and well decorated The cottage, location and stay was amazing.

    There was not anything we didn't like and we've stayed in lots of cottages over the years but this one has to be the best.

    The cottage was unusual and quirky in a good way, very comfortable and very well equipped. We slept very well in the king-size room as the bed was so comfy. There was only two of us and we were visiting family in the area so it was nice to be able to host them for a cuppa in a lovely place. The dogs loved the unusual but large outside space. Having the garage was great as well as the washing machine and dryer. The thoughtful little extras such as juice, biscuits, milk etc were appreciated. Sadly we forgot to sign the guest book but we would definitely return and recommend the cottage to anyone visiting this lovely part of Devon.

    The cottage was lovely, the garden is a sun trap when we had sun. We walked into Lyne Regis on the river walk. The cottage is cozy with lovely furnishings and great for a weekend stay with dogs, especially liked using the garage. The pub does amazing food over the road also!

    Loved the property but if you want food from pub across road, you need to check they are doing food as they don’t always and if they are you need to book, having said that the local cab companies are amazingly helpful but again you need to plan and book. This enabled us to go into Lyme Regis for food. If you like walking it’s amazing walk to town and back 😀

    Lovely cottage nice touch to have fresh flowers, really enjoyed our stay.

    Being so close to a busy road and the parking was tricky. The kitchen needs a bit of a makeover (in comparison to the rest of the property), but had everything we needed for a short break.

    Well equipped and had everything we needed for a short break away. The decor was lovely and we felt very comfortable at the cottage. The roof terrace was a lovely surprise. We were impressed with the washing machine and tumble drier being available too.

    We liked everything! Although, I now hate my shower at home because it can never match upto the one in the cottage.

    Such a gorgeous cottage. Very clean Really comfy beds All the kitchen essentials you could need Owners are lovely Sunfilled terrace Power shower! I honestly can't fault this cottage. We really enjoyed our stay. We had a slight leak from the shower and the owner came round as soon as he could to take a look and sort it out. He even gave us some information about some places to visit. Cant thank the owners enough for providing such a welcoming holiday home.
