Enjoyed a lovely weekend away at west cottage.
The location was perfect with a nice walk to a very quiet beach which was ideal for the dogs to enjoy a run around without worrying about them running over to people. Beds were really comfy and house and garden was spacious for us and our big dogs. The goodies in the welcome hamper was also nice to arrive to
There were a few things that meant this wasn't my favourite cottage I have stayed in so far. The stairs were very short and steep and not ideal for our dogs who love to sleep in our bedroom with us. We all had to be very careful coming back down the stairs including dogs and adults. The WiFi was also very poor. A fire stick is provided but the network meant nothing would connect. I did leave a voicemail with the owner in case they could rectify but didn't get a call back. In the end I managed to hotspot off my own mobile signal which was frustrating but manageable in the evenings to enjoy a film after a long walk. There were plenty of dvds available for anyone that cannot do this. We also struggled to find the charger for the hoover so struggled to keep the space clean from the dogs.
The small things that would have made this better include the oven which could do with a good clean. A foot stall would also have made the room comfier for 4 adults (but perhaps I am too spoilt at places like Dormy).
Overall however, we had a lovely trip away and I would recommend the cottage to others, especially given the location is remote but easy access to all of our favourite spots.
How dog friendly was this property for you? Great for dogs!

Hi Kimberley
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay overall.
We totally understand that the steep stairs can be a bit of a challenge —our charming old farmhouse does have its quirks! As for the Wi-Fi, we know it can be a bit spotty in our peaceful countryside and seaside haven. All part of the charm of being tucked well away from the hustle and bustle!
Regarding the hoover, we apologize for any inconvenience. It was a stand in replacement for the normal one that needed repairs. We're always working to keep everything in tip-top shape.
We hope to welcome you back for another stay and hopefully you’ll find more to love about our lovely coastal cottages.
Gorgeous cosy cottage

Perfect cosy cottage at the back of a farm that offers camping and pitches. Easy to get to Horsey to see the seals and I discovered more wonderful tearooms!
Woodburner was fantastic addition, but the cottage was nice and warm anyway. Garden is huge for a semi detached cottage! Thank you for having us.
