Lovely stay at Coastguards. Very well equipped kitchen, good boot room for the dogs . Be aware that the wall to the garden isn't very high if you have a jumper/escape artist (dog!)
Reply from Classic Cottages
Thank you so much for sharing your review - we hope your little escape artist enjoyed their stay! ?? We always specify in the property description if an enclosed garden is available, but as you can imagine, we can’t guarantee that every garden will be completely escape-proof for all pets. We do recommend keeping an extra eye on adventurous companions, just to be safe. We would love the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Julie, Customer Support...

Lovely cottage well furnished and extremely well equipped. The four separate rooms worked well for us as we had a massive age range, which enabled my granddaughter to study quietly for her A's one end of the cottage away from the boys who are much younger and very noisy. Comfortable and cosy. ...

Absolutely lovely place to stay and look forward to staying again. I was nervous having read earlier reviews about steep stairs but they were absolutely fine - short flights of a little bit steeper than modern houses but nothing scary.
Mrs Gordon June 2024
This is our second stay at Coastguards and we hope to book again for next year. We all, including my adult children, absolutely love it. It is so calming with such easy access to the most stunning walks and lovely Portscatho, gorgeous beaches and Thirstea café nearby. The perfect venue to completely unwind. Thank you for having us ??...
