Guest Reviews

"Number Four completely surprised us with how much character was packed into this bijou cottage! The wood burning stove made our autumn evenings so cosy, and we loved the clever use of space throughout. The location couldn't be better - we wandered into town every morning for coffee and pastries, and spent an entire day exploring the castle. The rainfall shower was perfect after our walks around the countryside, and we enjoyed drinks in the courtyard garden when the sun came out. Everything felt thoughtfully designed with such attention to detail. A perfect romantic retreat in a charming market town with easy access to the coast. We've already booked to return next summer!"
