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!

We had a really lovely stay here. The place itself was great and had everything we needed, and the hot tub was a brilliant addition — especially in the evenings. It made the whole trip feel extra relaxing. Would definitely recommend!

It’s a nice town with lovely shops too. We t…

This house was perfect for our stay! We were 2 adults and 4 kids so the 5 bedrooms worked well (one is on the ground floor). There is loads of space and we felt right at home!

Absolutely loved this place and don’t think the pictures do it justice. Beautiful cottage with amazing fireplace and period features. It was perfect for a winter break, a really cosy and peaceful place, but also imagine it would make a wonderful spring/summer break with the orchard and bbq areas. It is down narrow lanes, but this is for me added to the character and sense of peace and remoteness. Also, Paul was real…
