“Tranquil,peaceful with caring unobtrusive hosts”

- Mr Evans, May 2019
“The pictures of the cottage do not do it justice.”

It is really comfortable and cosy. The owners are so nice and so welcoming. We loved staying at Pottery Cottage and would stay there again.

- Mrs Compton, April 2019
“The clean, spacious accommodation, together with the location was perfect for us and our two dogs.”

The owners, Nick and Jo were very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Nothing seemed too much trouble for this lovely couple. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend to our friends and family.

Gently sloping and carpeted stairs. Close parking. Hosts nearby and helpful and attentive if needed. Quiet, private off-road location. An excellent, relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

“Very convenient location for beaches, towns, and good walks.”

Peaceful and lovely setting for the house, which was very comfortable and offered all facilities to a good standard. The kitchen, main bedroom suite, and living room were especially good.
