Milk Parlour Cottage is a gem - lovely location, clean and comfortable, and very well appointed. Everything we needed was there, including a bottle of wine when we arrived! The Chequers Inn is a ten minute walk away, and there is a lovely Farm Shop within five minutes walk. The front garden and paved area at the back are both sun traps, and securelRead morey fenced so our dog Dora could go outside safely. We shall definitely be returning! Hide

Wonderful cottage on a former farm in the heart of the island. We enjoyed walking our dogs in the nearby wood , there is a pub and also a nice farm shop in walking distance. Exploring the island from here is perfect. The next beach is just 15 min away. The cottage is beautifully refurbished and just the right size for 2 people and 2 dogs. We loved Read moresitting in the pretty enclosed front garden. There is also a private yard at the back with seating and bbq. We will hopefully be back soon ! Hide

Wonderful cottage and beautiful location. Really convenient for getting to all points of the island. Loved that we could bring our dog and the garden was secure so he could sit out on the grass and watch the world go by. The internet is a bit sketchy so if you're bringing a tween/teen, make sure they have plenty of data! We will be back :)
