What others say

These houses are homely, we could not have wished for anything more, perfectly suited for our requirements – for the dogs and a toddler!

Paul from Nottingham

My wife and I were impressed by the cleanliness and cosiness of the cottage. Coming out of season meant quiet beaches and less crowds and we could walk our spaniel on Polzeath Beach. Great long weekend, thank you.

John from Plymouth

Booking two adjoining cottages worked perfectly for us. We were two families who enjoy holidaying together as our children are great friends and this was the ideal solution. The tennis courts were an added bonus!
