Straw Cottage in all its glory, the perfect getaway whatever the time of year.
A glass of wine and a dip in the hot tub is a must.
The open plan living area is delightful.
Steps lead up to the mezzanine 'snug' with limited headspace owing to being in the eaves.
The lovely large garden is all yours.
The bedroom is complete with a king-size double bed.
Cosy up on the sofa.
Dine inside or out, the choice is yours.
The gorgeous shelving was hand-crafted by the artist/blacksmith owners.
The 'snug' on the mezzanine area is the perfect place to chill out with a good book please note the limited head room.
Can you guess why it's called Straw Cottage?
Cook up a scrummy supper.
The bedroom leads through to the kitchen and on to the open plan living room.
The shower-room.
Another view of the shower-room, with WC and wash-basin.
The main entrance opens straight into the beautiful bedroom.
Just gorgeous.
The outside space is equally as enjoyable by day and night.
With sun loungers, outside furniture for dining al fresco and a bubbling hot tub.
Such an idyllic spot to getaway for a few days or more.
Lunch in the sunshine - bliss.
A dip in the bubbling hot tub is a must, what better way to relax.
The forged metalwork was cleverly designed/made by one of the owners and adds to the charm.
Have a snooze in the sun, dine al fresco or toast some marshmallows on the fire-pit - the choice is yours!
So much outside space to enjoy.

Even the entrance gate is special.

Cute cottage, very comfortable bed, fab hot tub we used it every day! Garden not enclosed so be careful if you bring a dog, the owners dog did tend to visit a lot which my dog wasn’t overly happy with. Farmers arms and fish and chip shop amazing! Make sure you try both. Lovely peaceful location ...

Rustic but very comfortable. Owners very friendly and helpful. Great for peace and quiet, and good for getting to beaches in under half an hour.

Worst holiday let ever stayed in ! Arrived with great expectations, entrance was a mess of overgrown weeds and old machinery lying around. Steps down to front door are narrow and slippery no welcome pack or note had to phone owner couldn't find light switch in kitchen and no logs for wood burner, kitchen lights were brown with grim bathroom door was difficult to close. TV remote worked sometimes and had difficulty with cooker hob asked owner to help with little success, gave up when found WIFI did not work. Came for a relaxing 4 night stay, not relaxing at all and did not sleep well because of dripping gutter, noisy fridge and hot tub, branches tapping on roof and rats or mice scratching in walls!!!! ...
