    “We recently spent a delightful week at Windmill Cottage with our 4-year-old granddaughter and two Labrador retrievers, and we couldn't be happier with our stay.”

    The cottage is in pristine condition, and despite its proximity to an A road, it was wonderfully peaceful with no noise disturbances. The kitchen is thoroughly equipped, making meal preparations a breeze. The location is ideal for scenic walks, and the nearby beaches were perfect for our dogs to run freely – they had the time of their lives! The cottage was impeccably clean, and the beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring we had restful nights. Communication with Paul was excellent ...

    The cottage is in pristine condition, and despite its proximity to an A road, it was wonderfully peaceful with no noise disturbances. The kitchen is thoroughly equipped, making meal preparations a breeze. The location is ideal for scenic walks, and the nearby beaches were perfect for our dogs to run freely – they had the time of their lives! The cottage was impeccably clean, and the beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring we had restful nights. Communication with Paul was excellent throughout our stay, with prompt responses and helpful information. One small suggestion we have is to consider adding some children's books. Our granddaughter loves bedtime stories and having a few books on hand would have made our stay even more perfect. Overall, we highly recommend Windmill Cottage to anyone seeking a cosy, clean, and well-equipped place to stay. Thank you for providing such a wonderful retreat!

    - George, November 2025

    Dear George and Tara, thank you for your wonderful review. It has been our pleasure to host you all. It is very much appreciated when guests take the time to add so much detail. As you know we have only just taken ownership and we will add some children’s books on your recommendation. We hope you choose to stay with us again in the future. Kind regards Paul & Michael Property Owner
