We had a lovely week staying at Palm Cottage. It had everything we needed (high chair, cot, etc) and our daughter loved all the toys and books. Great location and lots to do without having to drive too far.

We have stayed here several times as we have family in the area. It’s our first choice given the location ( 3 restaurants within walking distance) but the star is the property itself. Warm and cozy, with high quality fittings. Alexia could not be more helpful. Highly recommended

We had a lovely little weekend getaway! Communication with Alexia, was great and quick for anything needed. Our daughter loved the under the stairs den and the little fairy door. The bed bumpers and all the kids supplies were perfect, we didn't need to travel with anything!! Location was great for seeing all the spots around. Parking although limited, was not a problem at all. We didn't get to use the outdoors space, but I know it would be perfect if the stay was longer and in the summer. All in all a perfect family space and getaway!!

Lovely cosy cottage in a great location! Owner has thought of everything you would need which is lovely Cleanliness wasn’t up to par and found it difficult to find places to put any belongings, food particularly -but owner has been very empathetic & promised to get this improved along with a full redecoration - to keep it as good as the photos ! Looking forward to this :-)
