“The owners are LOVELY - the fact there is a washing machine on site and chickens and free access to fields and a beautiful nature reserve.”
It was incredibly thoughtful that tea, coffee and milk were all left for us on arrival - made us feel very welcome and special. The friendly chickens, cats, sheep and goats really gave a sense of connection to the land and the fact this is still very much a working farm. The kitchen was really well equipped and there was tons of hot water for bathing the kids home from the beach. The outside picnic table was lovely to have sunny breakfast at and the location is very close to lots of wonderful beaches, harbours and whilst still being within very reasonable driving distance of London and the south east.
One small thing - it IS a beautiful old stone dairy cottage so the downstairs is very slightly damp, as most old stone buildings have a tendency to be, which was a little bit of an issue for my son's asthma - solved by airing with windows opened regularly - no problem really in summer, with sunshine and when you are out for most of the day. The sofa, chairs and beds were all extremely comfy, the WiFi was WAY better than I had expected it to be - I could comfortably work while there, and its homely and in keeping with this truly beautiful cottage. Thank you so much - I strongly suspect we will return....
