Superb location. Ideal for walking the coast path & watching wildlife. Very quiet. The only things that let it down was the poor welcome pack & the lack of essentials such as dishwasher tablets (none) and toilet rolls ( 4 very small poor quality rolls) We had to take our own duvet & pillows as those supplied were feather filled. No good if you have a feather allergy or are vegan. The location makes up for these issues but it could so easily be better. Weather was superb.

Amazing private peaceful location. Parking provided in national trust car park with permit provided. Steep walk down to lighthouse and cottage but well worth the effort if you are able. Make shure you bring plenty of provisions as it's rather isolated and a good drive away should you need supplies. Cottage very warm and welcoming and extremely clean. Housekeeper was very helpfull when arranging key collection. All in all it was a great experience in that you can stay a week without having to move the car with scenic walks on your door step. Will definetly have to return some day.

Its a very special place to stay and we loved the location and the high quality of the internal accomondation. Given the cost it was disappointing that the wonderful 'hamper' of food and drink has been cut to the basics. And also the outside furtniture is very poor (rotton wood) and needs replaying urgently. The padlock on the front gate was very fiddly to open - especially in the dark and the rain! Overall we would definitely recommend this unique place to stay.

Great location, this is our 3rd time we have stayed here. Love the isolation of the cottage. I run a holiday cottage myself. Sally Port is well presented. My only criticism would be (this is for your benefit really) was the fact there was no mattress protector on the double bed and no pillow case protectors. Mattresses are very expensive to replace and with the location of the cottage it would be a difficult job. For hygiene reasons there should be pillow protectors also. Also, again for your benefit, the heated towel rails are so easily left on. We have fitted timers to ours, it would be worthwhile getting an electrician in to do this.

Cottage was truly stunning. Comfortable, spacious, clean and with everything you need. It is of course isolated so to have those home comforts was great. Having access to the observation room and the small garden was wonderful and easy access to the beach a 10 minute walk along the coastal path was fabulous. Do be prepared for the foghorn going off (earplugs provided!) but even that felt part of the adventure and you soon become accustomed. A wonderful relaxing holiday venue.

An amazing experience staying at the lighthouse cottage, unique and with amazing views. Everything was clean and furniture inside was lovely. Toiletries were a nice touch and the welcome basket. However for the amount of money people are paying there are some things that need to be improved, particularly the garden furniture which was old and one of the seats was broken, and the bench seat in the garden is broken. So needs to be a better standard, with a heavy duty sun parasol, and maybe some sun loungers so people can really take advantage of the lovely garden. TV was far too small. Also some general upkeep issues like the toilet seat in the shower room was discoloured underneath and one of the rubber feet was missing. Appreciate its an old cottage with character features but the windows were very difficult to open, my husband had to go outside and stand on a chair in order to push open the kitchen window! No fan provided. Only other comment was that on numerous occasions we did catch people trying to enter by climbing over the garden fence, even though the padlock was in place and it was clearly private. So perhaps a better sign , or higher fence would help?

This was our second visit and we cannot speak too highly of this place. 4 out of 5 stars because: the hot water pressure in the walk in shower is good but the one for the bathroom is not. 25 mins to fill a bath or the need to tighten the nut on the bath shower to keep it working. Maybe that needs a bigger boiler one day.. But a downside to our stay, that could easily be fixed, was the poor attitude and hospitality shown by Rural Retreats by not providing enough basics. I don't pay serious money to have to drive on holiday to the nearest supermarket! And every AirBnB host knows that to only supply one WC roll per bathroom, 1cm of washing up liquid, fewer dishwasher tabs than our few days stay, no spare wiping cloths to wash the bath after use, no dustpan or brush to sweep up crumbs or sand, and no replacement yellow squeeze kitchen cloth (that had been used before -it smelt)...is just not done & shows inhospitality. Come on!

An absolute awesome, amazing place. For couples that need to escape the rat run this is THE place. Quiet and so refreshingly away from everyone. Just the noise of the sea and a few sea birds. This place is a perfect place to relax. My fiancé and I made sure we had enough food for the duration as the climb back up to the car is very steep and long so be aware. It’s so worth it. We are walkers and even we found the path back up was knackering. Don’t hesitate to stay at this place though. It’s a must! Oh and you have to take your rubbish back up too. Hmmm. But overall epic experience. Thankyou for a great clean and tidy place.
