Cosy and private cottage with crashing waves and bird song to soothe your soul.

10/10 Excellent
"Wow, what an incredibly relaxing weekend, the house was everything we wanted and more. I did need to text the host and ask a question or 2 and she replied instantly. I would absolutely come back and stay again. The electric bbq did us just right and being able to have the fire was brilliant. Thank you nic!"

Cottage within the magical gardens of Flaxmere

Cottage within the magical gardens of Flaxmere

10/10 Excellent
"This is a magical spot in Penny's incredible gardens! Even on soggy winter days, we enjoyed wandering the property, and the fire kept us toasty warm in the cottage. Our family enjoyed the thoughtful touches, tea/coffee and basics for cooking (oil, condiments). We loved having so much space to stretch out, and the comfy beds. The shower was unfortunately a piddle, extremely unsatisfying and took ages ages to rinse off. The place could have used a bit more of a thorough clean (especially bathroom and the drawers/floors in the bedrooms), but overall, it was fantastic value, warm and inviting, and a peaceful escape. We enjoyed talking to Penny, and reading about the history of the property. Hopefully we'll be back!"

"We stayed here for 7 weeks with our 3 children and cat whilst our home was being renovated. The host is lovely, the house is nice and warm, i would imagine this house would be awesome for a holiday, especially during summer with BBQ and furniture on deck. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay."
