"The old customs post was a lovely cottage to stay."

Its been done to a high standard and has everything myself and family needed during our stay. The beds are super comfy I felt as though i had the best nights sleep in those beds! the owners are also great with communication and info on the cottage and the welcome pack is a lovely extra to start your holiday. The village of Flushing is also a lovely village with a very cute little shop and two nice bars/restaurants We would definitely go back!

"A stylish, beautifully organised house in this lovely village."

Very comfortable, including the beds. Although no views, it is only a very short walk to the harbour, or to the local beach/shoreline & coastal path and we really appreciated the sunny, sheltered, enclosed garden (& the glass covered patio is a master stroke in variable weather conditions). Very well equipped. We also appreciated the lovely welcome pack (including the dog).

"The Old Customs Post was a delightful holiday stay, the village of Flushing also a hidden gem."

The cottage had everything we could possibly want and it was also very luxurious, very comfortable beds and thick fluffy towels. Would thoroughly recommend both pubs in Flushing and we would love to return here.

All the little touches make it a wonderful place to stay. We loved the garden as did the dog and it was so quiet. Everything was high quality and very well thought out. We will definitely be back

"Beautifully appointed house with everything you could possibly need."

Fantastic finishes in every room and the outside areas lovely. Great for a rainy day with covered area outside. Cooking facilities and kitchen equipment far better than usual in a holiday home. Facilities for dogs perfect, hooks, bowl, shower hose outside, dog waste bin. Large living and dining space great for entertaining. A short walk from pubs, shop and beach.

Everything has been finished to a very high standard, and every last detail thought about. The location is ideal for getting out & about, and it is so comfortable & well-equipped for lazy days 'at home', too!

"Lovely cottage situated in heart of this pretty village."

Has the benefit of off street parking in an area where parking spaces are a premium. Very well equipped and spotlessly clean.

"We absolutely loved it here and will be back."

The property is very cosy so whether you fancy a lazy evening in or a quick walk to the local Pub , you will enjoy your stay. The garden is completely enclosed, so you are guaranteed privacy and/or safety if you have little ones or furry friends. Sharon and Nigel couldn't have been more accommodating and we really appreciated the goodies left for us. Hopefully we will be back very soon.
