The property is spotlessly clean and will decorated, with everything you need for a great stay away from home, including smart TV and radio for quiet nights in. It’s ideally situated just a short stroll from the high street with lots of shops including an excellent butchers, cafes, pubs, etc. There’s also a supermarket only 5 minutes walk away. I would highly recommend this property, and I’m already planning on retu…

“Great location about 10 mins walk to centre of town with free parking. Very spacious house very clean and tidy and very nice welcome basket with M&S products. Relaxing terrace area to rear although quite a few steps up to reach but super views. Also a nice little seating area in the front garden just outside the house”.

We absolutely loved the Captains Cabin! We would definitely stay again. It was so quirky and the views were fantastic from the balcony! Paul was really responsive every time we pinged a message over… couldn’t fault him at all. We will and already have recommended the Captains Cabin to our friends and family!

A few snags such as missing blinds in two bedrooms and only one wine glass provided (which we advised host of and they said they would sort so hopefully ready for next guests). We would recommend ear plugs for light sleepers as there is a clock tower in the village which rings every 15minutes 24hrs a day. Host was very responsive and brought us torches when we had a …

“Very nice stay. Place was lovely and clean, instructions from Paul were easy to enter and leave property On a quiet road about 15 minute walk from the town, going in is easy as its downhill back is a bit harder as it eventually becomes quite steep. If you dont want to walk the number 90 bus will take you up the hill from the center for £2 per adult! If your reasonably fit though its fine to walk. Garden is on a ste…

“A fabulous stay – the cottage is a good size with everything you need. Very very comfortable, lovely leather sofas and a wood burner for the evenings. Separate kitchen and eating area – 2 double bedrooms with classic bath in one and a shower room. High chairs and stair gates available. Very clean and warm. Parking for 2 cars – play area for kids – and very easy to get to local attractions and towns. One of the best…

“Beautiful house and it had all we needed for a friends’ weekend away – everything we possibly thought of was there in the kitchen, lovely kitchenware, big table for communal meals, cosy lounge space. Quick walk to town and a shop and pub nearby. Will definitely book again”.
