This is the most stunning property with such breathtaking views. The owner has an incredible eye for detail - it’s like staying in a luxury hotel with all the exquisite bed linen and beautiful homeware, also the art on the walls is so divine and really makes the cottage something extra special. We visited the cottage after a rough few days with our wee baby and it truly was such a peaceful and healing place to be. The owner gave us complete privacy but was just a text away if we needed anything and the breakfast left in the cottage with fresh farm eggs for us to use for our breakfast over looking the bay as we sat in the beautiful courtyard was so magical, she even had fresh chocolate biscuits for us to snack on - hands down the best accomodation and host we have come across in all our travels. We can not wait to return. Thank you for sharing your magical cottage with us.

This is an absolute gem. For our long stay over Christmas visiting our family it was the icing on the cake. Rare to find a perfect mix of high-end furnishings and stunning decor in a exceptionally equipped self-catering property. Just wish it wasn't over the other side of the world! Thanks to lovely owners Sarah and Zac. Sandra & Ken Morgan, Bristol, UK PS. Missing the ducks.
