We had a great holiday at Carpenters Cottage. A beautifully presented house, ideal for a holiday. The flowers, cake, wine, dog biscuits and dog towels were a lovely surprise and much appreciated. The sun room was a great favourite. Set opposite a beautiful nature reserve, wellies needed, and not far from town. We walked down to The Duver at St HeleRead morens many times and enjoyed a bacon roll at the Baywatch Cafe. Ganders restaurant is ideal for a special meal or The Vine Inn for a pub lunch. Hide

Really comfortable and pretty cottage, tastefully decorated and complete with everything you could need. Really thoughtful touches for visiting doggies too, like a throw for the sofa and towels for wet or muddy paws. There was even a jar treats. We loved the wood burner and the beds were very comfortable. Thank you. We will definitely return.
