"The only thing we found wanting was the lack of properly comfortable seating to watch t."

V., (we are close to our eighties!). Otherwise everything was brilliant.

So pleased you enjoyed your stay at Tritchayne. Apologies if you didn’t find the sofa and chairs suitable. Best wishes John Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at the bull pen."

Very good location for the main seaside towns. Lovely walks with the dog and a paddock on site for a quick walk with the dog. They left cream tea and milk on arrival which was a nice gesture. Only thing to point out to owner was the dvd player didn’t work. Other than that a lovely stay and would like to return out of season to use the cosy log burner.

"We had a lovely welcome from the owner when we arrived."

The cottage was excellent and very comfortable with everything that we needed. Our dogs loved the paddock to run around in - they will definitely be back and so will we! Thanks so much.

If you're looking for a place to recharge and relax this is it. Immaculate cottage crisp white bedding and if required cosy log burner. Hosts were very welcoming and the complimentary cream tea on arrival was a real treat. Will definitely be back.
