Lovely stay in a fully equipped, peaceful holiday let. Couldn't ask for anymore. Sitting in the garden on the veranda after a day at the local beaches, in the evenings made the holiday complete. Would definitely stay again. Thank you.

A lovely studio in a quiet & peaceful location, it was great to be able to use the outside space to relax. The studio was very well equipped and all in all a stylish, restful place to spend a few days walking the coast path. Thank you.

A lovely secluded spot at the end of a garden. Surprisingly spacious inside and lovely to be able to help ourselves to the homegrown veg - thank you. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We loved our week long stay at The Garden House. The location was so peaceful and the accommodation very comfortable. We were able to park our car opposite the entrance to The Old Forge which was very helpful. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of clean towels. We appreciated the milk and bottles of wine and beer that were provided for Read moreus in the fridge by our hosts. The kitchen is well equipped and we appreciated the tea, coffee and sugar which were provided. They also provided basic cleaning materials and tea towels. We especially loved the decking and garden, and being surrounded by tranquillity. Our hosts were very attentive, and eager to provide us with anything we needed, including some freshly picked vegetables from their own garden, but who respected our privacy the rest of the time. We visited some nearby towns and beaches, both on foot and by car and would love to return sometime. Thank you Phillip and Anne Hide
