Poor communication
Poor communication. Although the cottage owners responded promptly to my queries, you did not send them on to me. I had to contact you to get the response.

The booking process was easy & efficient - we were spoilt for choice of cottages & locations for our October getaway. Our selection was 10/10 for location & comfort - we loved Charlestown, Salty Dog and the surrounding areas. Beautiful countryside and beaches - we enjoyed it all and were lucky with the weather!
Lovely family weekend at the cottage
Lovely family weekend at the cottage, everything you could need was provided, nice walk to Corfe Castle and only 10min drive to swanage.
Perfect house for 10 adults, but 5th bedroom could do with chest of drawers or wardrobe.
Beautiful, comfortable and well-equipped cottage
This is a beautiful, well-maintained and very comfortable cottage. The beds are lovely, with good pillows and cosy duvets. There was firewood for us to have a fire, the big hot tub was clean and worked well, and the decor throughout is lovely. The house was warm (we were there over a rainy October weekend), it’s got a new-looking central heating system and there was plenty of hot water. The garden is big and very pretty, with lots of outdoor seating. There’s masses of parking (I think it might have been a pub so there is a big car park) and there are some easy walks straight from the cottage. The kitchen is well-equipped and there’s plenty of preparation and storage space, and lots of seating for meal times. There’s an island with stools and a kitchen table and chairs, too, so meal prep was easy and sociable as people could sit and chat with whoever was cooking.
The sitting room is slightly quirky in that there are two spaces separated by a wood-burning stove. One side of the room is long and thin and feels a bit like a station waiting room. The other side is a more conventional set-up with enough room to have sofas round a coffee table. This comfortably seated 9 adults once we’d pulled in some armchairs from the other end! There’s a big scullery/ utility room area with sink and washing machine and ironing board. It was really useful for boots and coats (but no coat hooks, so we used the clothes rack which didn’t quite take all our wet coats!).
The only downside was that the cottage is right on a busy road. There was a constant stream of lorries (Sunday was quieter but there was still quite a lot of traffic). It wasn’t really an issue for us, but was definitely something we noticed.
We loved our stay there! Gave it 4/5 because of the road and the quirky sitting-room set up. Everything else was 5 star.
Friendly landlord.
Perfect place for a family celebration.
Great stay in a beautiful property. Everything was asked pictured... well maintained and equipped. All communication with the company and host were clear and prompt.
The booking was easy and payments taken as per the schedule.
Little extras.... dog treats, blanket, bowls, welcome pack.

Do not book if you have mobility problems
The cottage was very well equipped but in need of decorating and repairs.the stairs are a massive issue fo someone with mobility problems and elderly dogs.could not use garden due to stairs.

Fabulous location right in the heart of Saundersfoot. Lovely spacious and spotless apartment with everything you would need. Designated parking bay which is a bonus. Definitely recommend.
The chapel was just perfect
The house was just perfect, great location, nice and spacious for extended family gatherings. We will definitely book again. Holiday cottages were great to deal with when we added an extra night to the stay.
Like home from home!
Such a relaxing, comfortable, homely place to stay. Easy to travel out from to many beautiful spots, including Aldeburgh, Woodbridge and Shingle Street. The Butchers and Green Grocers in Debenham High Street are of high quality and the Co-op was very handy for movie snacks.
Such a cozy place to return to after a day of Suffolk air and sights.
Thank you!!
Cosy cottage centrally located
