High Croft Reviews

Sarah
The cottage was spotless and cosy, making us feel right at home. Loved the hot tub and stunning surroundings! Highly recommend.
James
Honestly, the place was beautiful and the hot tub was a real highlight. Being close to the beach and local shops made things easy, which was great. Only thing is, it didn't feel as private as we'd hoped - the owner staying in the annex below and stables nearby kinda took away that secluded vibe. Still, we had a good time overall!
Emma
The house was really spacious with amazing views of the countryside and the sea. Well-equipped and host Lynn was lovely!
Martin
The house was super cosy and in a perfect spot. Lynda and John made us feel really welcome, couldn't ask for better hosts!
James
Cozy, charming stay
Laura
We had a lovely stay overall. The house is stunning, with breathtaking views that really made our trip special. Everything was spotless and well-stocked, including little touches like spare towels for the hot tub, which was a nice surprise. That said, if you have family members with mobility issues or disabilities, this might not be the best place, thanks to the steep driveway-it's quite a climb for anyone with limited mobility. Still, we'd definitely return. It's a great spot for a peaceful getaway, just keep the access issues in mind if you're travelling with someone who needs a bit more help.
Emma
Great hosts, really enjoyed the night, would recommend to friends!

Really enjoyed the peaceful setting and lovely hosts.
Emma T.
The cottage was well kitted out, but we really could have used sharper knives for food prep and better lighting outside on the steps. We wouldn't recommend Original Cottages based on one trip, though, not a reflection of the stay.
Emma
Had a lovely weekend with the girls! The hosts were truly welcomingand those little welcome gifts were a lovely touch. We've already told friends and can't wait to come back. Perfect stay!

We stayed at this lovely cottage just before Christmas and honestly, it felt so festive and cosy. John and Lyn were fantastic hosts, making us feel right at home from the minute we arrivedand they were always available if we needed anything. The kids adored the hot tuband the dogs couldn't get enough of the big enclosed garden. It was a brilliant breakand we're already planning to come back next year. Highly recommend!
Emma T.
We had a lovely stay at this cosy cottage. The place is super warm and comfy, nestled in beautiful countryside. Plenty of scenic walks right outside! The steep driveway was tricky on icy nights, but Lynn and John were so helpful, sorting out parking quickly. Definitely recommend the place if you're after a peaceful escape!
