Reviews

"Location was amazing as were the facilities in the house and garden. There is lots of space in the house to accommodate adults and children without ever feeling everyone is on top of each other. The proximity to the beach is great and the fact there is very little traffic means it’s pretty safe too."

"The house is really spacious. The living area easily accommodated our party of ten. The kitchen was really well equipped and the bedrooms a good size and it was beautifully decorated throughout. The trampoline in the garden was a particular hit. Both Keepers Cottages and the housekeeper were extremely helpful and replied promptly to any query we had."

"Absolutely loved our stay. The house is unbelievably beautiful and special. We had the most memorable weekend. The price is reflective of the decor and location. Appreciated that it worked for adults and toddlers. Would 100% recommend the place and the team. Thank you!"

"We enjoyed our stay at Downs Cottage so much. The rooms are so spacious, the beds super comfortable and the location was just incredible. Waking up to a sea view every day was such a treat. Thank you for having us."

A. Miller, Oct 2021

"This place is amazing !!! The interior design is something of a master piece with quirky and Art Deco features with lots of talking points. We booked this for a surprise 50th birthday present for my wife with 8 other friends , all bedrooms are incredibly spacious and had sit down meal for 10 in the dining area which accommodate easily . Walked to the local pub 10 minutes away along the beach whom were very friendly/ good food reasonably priced . Wish I could wake every morning to such an awesome view with beach right on your doorstep. I would high recommend this place and would book it again in a heartbeat"
