Overall, the accommodation was what we hoed for i.e. clean, a pleasant place to come back to in the evening and very warm which was welcome in the cold weather. However, the kitchen was poorly equipped for cooking - two not very large saucepans and only one lid is inadequate even for two people. As new customers we noted how much emphasis Rural Retreats put on the provision of a hamper so we were really shocked to see that the eggs provided were from caged hens. Animal welfare organisations such as the RSPCA are campaigning against such practices. The lack of any facility for recycling waste is also surely unjustifiable these days.

Lovely, very spacious, cottage that has been done up to a high standard. A perfect place to spend a couple of days relaxing by the sea, especially with the access straight out onto the SW Coastal Path. The welcome hamper was both very well stocked and completely unexpected (as we had assumed that with Covid-19 changes this wouldn't happen). Arranging key collection was also very easy and non-contact. Good communication throughout. Be aware that there is no WIFI and phone signal is rather limited - both a plus point in our view but may be problematic for others.

The cottage is very well presented with comfortable beds, sitting and dining rooms. However, we can not award 5 stars for 2 reasons. 1. Wifi is impossible to find - even the BT Hub as mentioned by a previous visitor. Also, unless you are able to access O2 there is no mobile phone connection. 2. Beware, the hot water is scaldingly hot and there are no warning notices. To wash hands etc don't turn the tap past halfway until the water has heated through or you could suffer a nasty burn.

We arrived in the middle of Storm Dennis. The cottage was warm, well laid out and very comfortable. The welcome hamper provided was superb. We arrived too late to shop on a Sunday evening, the hamper provided all we needed until we shopped on Monday. It was without doubt one of the most comfortable holiday cottages I have stayed in. Everything was provided, beds made and towels laid out. The sea views from the bedrooms, lounge and dining room were excellent. The fog horn sounded through out the night on a couple of occasions but we did not find the tone irritating and soon forgot it was there (without earplugs). I would highly recommend this cottage and look forward to our next stay.
