Reviews

Excellent location and cozy cottage. Unfortunately the beds were very uncomfortable and spoilt our holiday.

Mr H,

A lovely cottage in a great location.

Mr F,

A lovely cottage, very comfortable and clean.

Mrs M,

Nice cosy cottage in a very good location for restaurants and beach. We didn’t have any issues parking in surrounding roads which was good to know.

Mrs C,

The Arc was cosy and had all the equipment inside that we needed.

Mrs J,

Beautiful and cosy cottage with lots of character 10 minutes from the town centre. Nicely decorated and slept well as beds comfortable (when adjusted to church bells ringing on the hour). Close to supermarket and local shop. Very happy stay thank you. Only improvements to recommend was that I surprised to find some basic provisions were not included, for example, no hand soap/shower wash in bathroom and would have liked the option to recycle waste.

Mrs E,

The cottage was comfortable, clean and well equipped. It was also in a perfect location with easy access to the town, harbour, steam train and attractions. Only downside was close proximity to church with bells ringing on the hour every hour and for prolonged periods on Sunday and Wednesday mornings and evenings. As we had our 5 month old granddaughter with us it would have been useful to have known about this before booking. There are also steep steps up to the garden which could make it difficult with anyone with mobility problems.

Mrs S,
