Mr O'Keeffe April 2016
This is a superb cottage with friendly welcoming owners. A real home from home - we love it! It is our favourite holiday cottage having been going to cottages for over 30 years. Very good for those with less mobility - slope up to front door which avoids steps, wide doors and a walk-in shower. A very good welcome pack and little extra touches make it special....

Thoroughly recommended. Good position, very quiet, private and well equipped. Beautifully clean, lovely extras as a welcome. Couldn't wish for more. A well prepared, restful break.
Mr Shirtliff December 2016
A wonderful place to stay. Lots of room and very well equipped. Use of the Aga was appreciated. A very good location to explore the Jurassic coast. We will definitely stay again.
Mrs Whitwick March 2016
In an excellent setting. The owners were very welcoming and always available for any queries about the cottage, and information on the area. As a wheelchair user I found the cottage excellent with wide doorways and a wet room.
