We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely spot. The location is stunning and quite private, perfect for a peaceful getaway. The owners were super friendly and always there if we needed anything, but it still felt secluded. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day cycling. One thing to note, though, is that the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so aircraft noise is quite noticeable. It didnt bother us much after a while, but for light sleepers, it might be worth considering. Overall, a fab place!

We found the place really suited our needs. I brought along some extra throws because the dogs love lounging on the furniture and it kept everything nice and cosy. The space was generous and there was plenty of choice on the TV. Returning from the beach to a warm, comfy house was just perfect and the beach itself is just a five-minute walk - so handy!

Absolutely loved it! The owners really nailed it - super relaxing stay. Were already telling friends to check it out!
