  • "Quality and sympathetic reconstruction and extension to a former derelict farm workers cottage."

    Tastefully furnished with a mix of modern and traditional furniture.Very well equipped kitchen with all that you might need. Comfortable beds and quality bedding and towels. A log burner with initial supply of wood included but underfloor heating was so effective that the log burner was not used. Bathrobes were provided for use after using the hot tub which had really powerful jets. Although not required, always had the impression that the owners would be eager to rectify any issues.

  • "It's a lovely cottage very well stocked and it probably has everything you'll need, with some nice friendly touches."

    There is a book with some photos of the original conversion which is very interesting. The owners are very friendly and approachable if you need to ask any questions. There are lots of places to visit and the coast is amazing. The hot tub is superb, and even has a built in Bluetooth speaker. If you're decided to book, have fun and don't forget to play the Catamouse Mice game. Eric and Deb.

    The owners - as well as having the vision to create such a beautiful holiday home - have thought of everything that a holiday guest might need… and more. They have been extremely considerate to guests, including a generous welcome basket, a late check out and there isn’t a long list of must do / do nots. They have created somewhere where you can just totally relax and enjoy the beautiful cottage. As well as being so well equipped, the house is full of lovely decorative touches, and the search for the ‘catamouses’ is just wonderful! Thank you for a truly lovely stay.

    Helen & Julian couldn’t have done any more to make our stay stay any better, walking in the front door to see the property dressed for it first Christmas in 70 Years! The welcome basket was a lovely touch and our 2 year old absolutely loved the Christmas Tree all light up as we walked into the living room! The place had everything we needed and even though it was freezing cold outside, the cottage was always lovely and warm… never needed to use the log burner. Also had plenty of use out of the hot tub, well covered over so could still enjoy in the bad weather. We’ll certainly be returning here for another break soon! Jon, Maria & Harry. X

    Catamouse was a lovely cottage to hunker down in. It is renovated to such a high standard, every detail: cushions, blinds, bedding and it is very comfortable and clean too. Despite the weather we used the hot tub a few times! The walled garden is well-kept and has been well-designed. The location means you need a car to get anywhere but most places are 30-40 minutes at most. We would highly recommend this cottage.

As your eyes grow heavy, retire to one of two king-size bedrooms, both showcasing charming views of the cottage garden and decorated with panelled walls and oak flooring, as well as white Egyptian cotton bedding; they provide the perfect haven to catch your rest in.

Ample storage in the form of a wardrobe, bedside table and chest of drawers ensures there is a place to keep all your personal belongings and a flat-screen TV creates a peaceful spot where you can enjoy a film or two.

After a day at the beach, sink into the bubbles in the roll top bath or freshen up in the separate shower cubicle before encasing yourself in the fluffy white towels or robe as provided.
