We had a wonderful time! The cottage's farm setting was charmingand the swimming pool was a real highlight. Can't wait to come back again soon!
Charlie
We had such a lovely stay at Smythen Farm cottages! Despite the weather being a bit unpredictable, it didn't spoil our trip at all. The setting is just perfect, with stunning views of the countryside and sea that made waking up so special. The facilities are great, especially if you're with kids - the games room, parkand pool were a hit. The cottage itself was spacious and well stocked. All in all, we really enjoyed ourselves and would happily return. Highly recommend!
James
The cottage was really spacious and spotless, which we loved. The pool, hot tuband sauna were great. Just wish robes were provided for guests, really!
Emma
We loved Seaview Cottage! The views are absolutely stunning and super peaceful. The spacious patio was perfect for relaxingand the donkeys were so friendly - my kids adored them. The games room and play park kept everyone entertained. The pool was warm and very clean, with great indoor facilities. Only slight downside was the limited opening hours, especially during the week, but overall, a fantastic stay!
Alex
Lovely place, peaceful spot away from everything, enjoyed the pool!
