My husband and I and our two daughters had the most wonderful 5-night stay at Blackbird Cottage. On arrival we were treated to a large hamper of delicious treats and beautifully prepared rooms in a spotless and well-equipped home from home. The garden is absolutely gorgeous and we loved the church bells! Relaxing in the cosy lounge in front of the fireplace after a day at one of the nearby beaches was the perfect way to enjoy some quality family time.

Blackbird Cottage was the perfect retreat for us as a family. We felt instantly cocooned in its beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean surroundings. Everything we needed was there. The duvets and pillows were sumptuous, a home from home and I’ve never slept so well away from my own bed.

Sue’s cottage was exactly as described in the article- spotless accommodation, tastefully decorated , peaceful location, comfortable beds with luxury duvet and linen. Thank you Sue, it was a pleasure to stay in your place. I will definitely recommend it .

A beautiful cottage in a lovely area. Peaceful and relaxing. Finished to an excellent quality and felt like a home from home. The welcome basket and goodies were outstanding. And we really enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful period cottage in a quiet location but with charming shops and restaurants within a short walk. The owner has provided everything required for a relaxing stay. What's more it is super clean and smells gorgeous thanks to thoughtful touches like the diffusers. Loved the garden too.

We had a wonderful stay at Blackbird Cottage, it's beautiful. The gardens are private and peaceful, just the sound of birdsong and lovely church bells. The beds were super comfortable, and there was everything you need in the cottage. The welcome food hamper was fabulous, and very welcome.

We have just had a fantastic stay at Blackbird cottage. The cottage is comfortable and in a great location. The bedrooms were clean and spacious and had very comfortable bedding. Sue from the moment of booking was friendly and responsive and was always willing to help with suggestions on places to eat and go. Will definitely look to book again in the future.

Beautiful and very comfortable home to stay in with everything we needed in the house and nearby. Susan was very helpful and responsive and we felt welcomed, which I really valued. Everyone enjoyed a lovely stay and would like to return.
