  • "We had a wonderful week at Slade Cottage with our two families."

    The location is wonderful with a short walk to one of the best beaches in the area. You can walk from the beach along the coastal path with great clifftop views. The house is very well equipped throughout with everything needed in the kitchen. Comfortable beds with white linen and plenty of room for 2 families to dine together at the large kitchen table or in the conservatory. The garden is stunning with beautiful flowers and shrubs and is a fantastic haven to sit and relax. The owners are nearby and are very helpful with help if needed and suggestions for days out and activities. We would throughly recommend Slade Cottage - we had a wonderful holiday.

  • "This was a family get together and 7 of us stayed in the cottage for a week."

    With 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, there was plenty of room, and the kitchen, lounge and conservatory were all large rooms too. The conservatory had wonderful views of the garden and the kitchen was very cosy and pretty. It was great having two different areas we could eat in. The conservatory was bigger, but the kitchen was warmer. We were all impressed with the bedrooms which were all well furnished; beds were comfortable and the bedding felt lovely quality. There are some fantastic views from the windows. It's truly a beautiful property! It's also very practical; the kitchen is well equipped and there's plenty of storage space for groceries, which isn't always the case. We had some minor problems with the house during our stay and the owner responded quickly to fix things. For example, the heating had turned off as it was April, but they turned it back on and were very generous with the timings. This made a big difference to my elderly parents who feel the cold. They also welcomed us with homemade Welsh cakes and fresh local milk. If we went back to the area, we would definitely stay here again.

When sleep calls, there are five well-presented bedrooms to choose from; on the ground-floor there is a twin serviced by a bathroom, whilst upstairs lies two doubles, a twin and a single, served by another family bathroom.

Within a short walk is the Three Golden Cups pub, where you can reward yourself with a pint of ale after a ramble, or book a table at the Frolics for a wonderful Italian meal.

For your essentials, head to St Brides Major for its well-stocked village shop and milk hut selling fresh milk from a neighbouring farm.
