    Quiet, yet convenient location, with easy access to the south coast, vineyards, and National Trust properties. We were made very welcome by the owners. Good local shopping, with cinema for a rainy day.

    Thank you very much. It was lovely to meet you all. I am delighted that the weather was kind enough to allow you to get out and about so much. However, having the Kino cinema in the village is certainly a good rainy day activity! Property Owner

  • "Spindlewood cottage is very comfortable and has everything you need."

    The layout of the cottage is very nice and works very well for a family. We were really impressed that the owners had some lovely bread, jam and butter waiting for us on arrival and they also made us a lovely cake. They also put up a safety gate for our son which was a bonus and they had lots of games and toys in the property for our son - which goes above and beyond most properties. The only thing that wasn't great was the internet as it would regularly cut out. Otherwise a perfect stay.

    Thank you very much for your feedback. I am pleased to hear that you found everything you needed in the cottage and that you enjoyed your stay. I apologise about the quality of the internet. We have looked into it and going forward all should be working satisfactorily. I hope the house hunting is going well. Property Owner
