We have stayed here twice, the garden is fabulous and the gardener was really helpful and knowledgeable, love the new restaurant, love the fact it is all dog friendly!
Had a lovely stay here. Beautiful location, close to the beach and the forest. Cottage was warm and cosy, loved the fire. Kitchen has everything you need. Beds were super comfy. Thank you. Would be even better with a hot tub in the garden!
The cottage is ideally located, only a short 5-10 minute drive to the coast and is on its own in a private part of the retreat. The enclosed garden is perfect if you have a dog with you and would be a lovely space to enjoy in the spring / summer.
The kitchen had everything you could need and the bedrooms are light and airy, although little things like making sure there is salt in the salt grinder would be appreciated.
Thoughts where the cottage could benefit: adding a mirror in the bedrooms and the addition of a small welcome pack on arrival would have made the stay slightly better.
