I stayed here for 4 weeks and found the cottage homely and warm in a very pleasant and relaxing setting. Everything you need for a short or long stay is provided. Mobile signal is fine and broadband works well. Check in was easy with excellent communication from the owner. A summer break here would be very enjoyable.

We enjoyed our visit, the location was really peaceful being off the beaten track and within easy reach of footpaths to explore the local area. Lyme Regis was an interesting place to visit and the tides were right for us to go fossil hunting. We only stayed 3 nights but wished we could have stayed longer.
