"Fantastic rooms and amenities"
Jonathan - Apr 2024
"The location and cabin were lovely. Its a great base for exploring the local area, which is beautiful. The cabin is well stocked with everything you might need, and it was lovely and warm in April. The bed is snug, but you can see what you're getting from the pictures, and it was fine for the two of us. For us, there was only one fly in the ointment and that is the hot tub. It is log fired and they do set it up for you free of charge however if you want to use it more than once you will have to pay for additional wood. In summer one log burner set up might keep it warm for repeated uses through the day or night. In spring youre constantly chucking logs on it and tending to the fire. Not a huge issue however the hot tub was the reason I booked and payed more for this cabin over others on the website and I feel additional costs associated should have been stated explicitly. The costs weren't huge or unreasonable, just a hidden extra and I'm not keen on hidden extras. Mark was very helpful and friendly when he came to show us to the cabin and how to use the hot tub. Our stay was very pleasant overall."

"Mark and Michele are amazing hosts. I stayed in the Stable Cottage which on arrival was immaculate and the hot tub at 39 degrees - perfect. The beach is a very short walk away, the ponies on site were a bonus. Security is covered well. Plenty to do for all ages within short journey time. Best of all it was so peaceful and relaxing. I forgot one will definitely be returning."

"Mike & Michelle were absolutely FANTASTIC! They went above and beyond for us and ensured we had the best time. Our hot tub was nice and warm on arrival, our room was warm and spotlessly tidy. The facilities are great, everything you need for a good break. The location was perfect, we had a lovely stroll along the beach and around Crimdon Dene Natural Reserve. We are definitely coming back to stay in the Boat house, we had a lovely weekend and did not want to come back home. Definitely recommend to everyone whos looking to book, dont hesitate! Thank you both for ensuring we felt welcomed and happy!"

Verified Guest - Jan 2024
"Beautiful and quiet location. The owners were lovely and nothing was too much trouble for them. The cottage was warm and clean, with a comfortable sofa and beds. My only note, and this didn't detract at all from our stay, it is not carpeted and so, in the colder weather, needs a rug on the bedroom floor."
Sarah - Jan 2024
"I had one of the best staycations here! The owners are lovely and make sure your visit is the most enjoyable by making sure the hot tub is ready upon arrival. Its a 3 minute walk to the beach and a 10 minute drive to nearest town which is ideal. Would highly recommend and will definitely be coming back."

Alexander - Jan 1970
"The hosts were excellent when we kept loosing the WiFi connection, which the kids couldn't live without! Could have done with a couple of additional kitchen utensils - a pair of scissors & a draining spoon for poached eggs but managed without. The only thing I could criticise is that there was no wardrobe (there is room for one) I hated having to live out of my suitcase for the week."
Alison - Jan 1970

Emily - Jun 2022
"We had an amazing stay here!!! Literally the surrounding the place the people were just amazing!!! I will definitely come back… only thing would be, for the lodge with the dog is maybe a little fence around so when your in the hot tub the dog can be out with you but other than that!!! It’s was incredible, I can’t wait to see this place again for a quiet holiday by the beach, super friendly, me and my girlfriend love it and of course little lady loved it to ??"

"Boat house, is Ideally located right on the Beach just a 2 minutes walk. Suitable for 2 people who want a Relaxing Break Away with Easy to use Log Burning Hot Tub which was cleaned Every Morning while we were there. Also comes with picnic Bench and BBQ Which is all in your own private Area. Would suggest Reading previous Reviews which we did as there is no Wardrobe space or cooker but you do get microwave, toaster, fridge freezer and little Hot Plate. Would Thoroughly recommend for a Couples Break Away. Hopefully we will be Returning Back Next Year."

"Me and my husband stayed at this wonderful accommodation for 2 nights. The host Michelle was so lovely. Very friendly welcome. The room itself was immaculate, spacious and very luxurious. The hot tub was set up great, temperature was spot on. We used the log fire that was included. On day two before we got up the hot tub was reset up for us. The views were spectacular! We will definitely be returning here in the very near future."

Andrew - Apr 2022
"We had a fabulous short break at the boat house! Would definitely recommend! Location right on the beach which makes a lovely walk. Distance to pubs and restaurants are a taxi or a drive a way. Wood burning hot tub was beautiful and mark & Michelle were nothing but helpful and were just a text away if we needed anything"
Ruby - Apr 2022
"Just had 2 nights away as a couple with my dog. The place is amazing and absolutely spotless, perfe t size and has everything you could possibly need. Its totally peaceful and less than a 5 minute walk to a fantastic clean beach. The log fire hot tub was gorgeous and we used it every night, the hosts couldn't have been any better, friendly and helpful when needed but kept put the way to give you space and privacy the rest of the time. Treats for the dog was left and a bottle of sparkling fizz for the adults. Lots of retail parks, beaches, shops, nature reserve, restaurant and marina all within 10 minite drive. We will definitely be back"
