Lovely Cottage in a picturesque setting.
Mr Booker September 2022
Excellent place to stay. Loved the peaceful garden. Cottage is well-equipped and comfortable. Owners very friendly and helpful. Great base for exploring the coastal towns, beaches and walking paths. The village is quiet and friendly, with a good community shop. Worth noting that when we stayed Ye Olde Globe pub was closed, pending new owners, but the Sawmills and the bar at the holiday park were both open and easily walkable. The tranquil beach at Broadsands and the Sandy Cove Hotel are also within walking distance....

We enjoyed a wonderful holiday at Little Bessemer. The hosts were so welcoming and very responsive to questions in the run-up to our trip. The cottage feels larger than the photos suggest, especially the garden which is beautiful, really tranquil, and sheltered even on the hottest days. The location is a short drive from great places to visit. We would love to stay there again. ...
