Reviews

We had a wonderful holiday in Wisteria Cottage. It was very comfortable, extremely well equipped and the hosts could not have been more helpful. There was lots of lovely walks for us and the dogs and beaches were not too far away. We all returned rested and relaxed.

Miss G,

We loved Wisteria Cottage! Very clean, comfortable, modern and well looked after. Secluded but easy to find. We will recommend to others and intend to make a return visit.

Mr C,

The cottage is not only beautiful and comfortable but has everything you will need for a relaxing break. The gardens are so pretty and perfectly maintained. The location is ideal for those who like to go for walks or as a base to go further afield and the owners are really friendly. Simply wonderful!

Miss Jill H,

Our second stay at Wisteria Cottage and love it just as much as the first time. Nothing has been overlooked in this place from kitchen accessories right the way through to Netflix and iPads for the kids. Will definitely go back again.

Mr Craig H,
