Gaffers cottage
Absolutely loved our stay, Sheelah and Jack were perfect hosts. The cottage was lovely and we all slept very well. The facilities were spot on and as described and the swimming pool was a lovely bonus with the weather. Thank you Sheelah and Jack for making my 60th birthday one to remember and treasure. Regards the Stevens family.

Excellent cottage with all needs catered for. Everything as described - couldn't have wished for more for a family ages 12-77 years old.
