We wanted a week away from everything and the Pump House fits this criteria exactly. Judith was a superb host; my husband mentioned fishing and the next day she had left leaflets and information for him on the doorstep. She also, as has been said in many other reviews, left fresh milk, bacon, eggs, apple juice and fudge in the fridge. When we arrived, the table was laid for tea with a delicious home made chocolate cake that lasted us the whole week and classic fm was playing on the radio. It really is a delightful little house, just perfect for two and fully kitted out for cooking should you want to. So many highlights but do explore Judith's beautiful garden, say hello to her pet sheep and guinea fowl in the field next door and make use of the tennis court. There are several bird feeders in the garden which all the little birds crowd around and one morning as I sat quietly observing I was amazed to see a sparrow hawk swoop in and out of the meadow - only about 10 feet away from me - thankfully he didn't manage to grab a meal. We also were treated to a pair of owls in the meadow in the evening. There is no wifi, which we loved, but if you need it the farm shop down the road has wifi. The local area is fantastic - loads to visit and see if you want to go out and about or else just sit and enjoy the tranquility, with the gentle sound of the church bells across the fields. Very highly recommended, it's an absolute gem....

Good location, very comfortable, welcoming owners. Perfect for a chill-out, quiet and relaxing break.

The Pump House is set back some fifty yards from a very minor road in an oasis of greenery with the local wildlife providing a visual and vocal display every day. The owners are absolutely charming and genuinely caring who share their stunningly beautiful gardens openly with you. As previous reviewers have mentioned, there are numerous appealing and impressive walks starting literally on your doorstep that cater for all levels of walkers. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in the Pump House and would highly recommend a visit. ...

Lovely cottage, blissfully peaceful and an absolute oasis of calm.

Our stay at the Pump House was delightful. The cottage is beautiful. Top quality fixtures and fittings throughout. Thoughtful touches like the dog bowl and towel made us feel very welcome to bring our dog. Our dog particularly loved the treats left for her and the meadow garden was a joy for her to explore. Mornings at the table over breakfast were spent bird watching with the thoughtfully placed bird feeders in the meadow. There was cake and some provisions left for us when we arrived. The lovely large bath is great for soaking in after a long day of walking. Plenty of walks from the property, plus you are close to the coast for exploring further. It must be beautiful in the summer months as I’m sure the garden becomes a sun trap. A delightful stay that wasn’t spoiled by the inclement weather. ...
