  • "Customer Review."

    There was a profusion of weeds in the front garden(5 feet high) and in general outside. More cutlery would have been useful and a dishwasher preferable to a washer.

    Thank you for your time in leaving a review. In response to your comments : The cottage is equipped with crockery and cutlery for four people although it only sleeps two. As Holly Cottage is small, when recently redesigning and fitting the new Kitchen, we did not feel a dishwasher was a necessity for two people. With regard to the towering weeds to the front - The cottage is surrounded by a water gully that runs along the side and then along the front of the cottages in this row, hence the bridges over this to the cottages and extra fencing to keep this part separate and safe. There are reeds and wild flowers that fill this area and naturally disperses during the Winter months. This actually gives extra privacy to our guests through the busier Summer Season. We clean and manage the cottages ourselves to make sure cleanliness and maintenance is to a very high standard and tend to the garden too on the day of the changeovers. Holly Cottage's garden provides a very private, enclosed garden for our guests incorporating a lawned area and regularly watered flowers and plants pots. We do hope all the points you have raised did not affect your stay too much and that you enjoyed your holiday. Property Owner

    Close to the beach and simply miles of walks which our labrador loved! Holly Cottage is cosy and comfortable and very tastefully decorated. The log burner adds extra comfort in the evenings as you rest and relax. The bed is very comfortable and we both slept really well- so did the dog!

    Perfect for a dog, although the stairs are a bit tricky for large dogs. If like me, you are a little unsteady on your legs, you do need to be careful. The wood burner is brilliant. Everything you might need for an enjoyable stay is provided. A local shop that sells just about everything, a cafe with great service. My Labrador loved the long walks on the beaches, we just had to call in the cafe for hot chocolate (for me!) and a Sausage (for my dog!!!) after a long walk, every day! Jane & John, the owners, are very friendly and helpful.
