This is an amazing place to stay. We stayed for 3 nights with our toddler and the cottage we stayed in (star cottage) was perfect. Plenty of space for everyone, really clean and well equipped. We had a beautiful view out of our living area over the country side and it felt brilliantly peaceful. Nothing was too much trouble for... More

The place was a piece of luxury in the countryside! We stayed in the paddocks, would thoroughly recommend. So many little touches made this a 5* stay, down to complementary cream scones, chocolates on arrival (and departure!) and use of all the locally produced goods. Beautiful setting, we adored the jacuzzi bath in the bedroom! Was just beautiful. Everything was... More

What a fantastic place to stay! Quiet. Spotless. Lovely touches that make you feel at home. Nice bathrooms. Comfy beds. Well equipped kitchen. Light and airy rooms. Close to the coastal path, and other exciting places to visit. The service from the owners is first class - they can't do more to make your stay easy, comfortable and a proper... More

Outstanding cottages in a quite and peaceful location. 5stars all the way. Nothing was to much trouble for the owners to organise - special treat for my partner in the "Kave" ... A fish & chips supper under the stars.. Perfect. The local seaside town is lovely, a great place to escape to for a weekend away without the kids.... More

We've just returned from a long weekend staying in Royal Celerity. I did think twice about writing a review because I selfishly don't want it to become too popular that I can't get booked or the prices go up! The website doesn't do this place justice, everything is immaculate and the service is second to none. You can tell its... More

Myself and my husband adore staying here, ran by such a welcoming and lovely family. Accomendation is 5*, spotless and dreamly. Wonderfully furnished, beautiful views.. there is nothing not to like. If you want a little peace of heaven, some relaxation, quality time with your other half or family then this is the place to be!

We stayed here for 3 nights in Dream Cottage and it was a dream, we wish we could have stayed forever. We loved it, everything you could hope for and more was supplied and we were snowed under with all the little gifts that were left around the cottage. Bubbly, chocolates, cream tea and smellies. Brilliant location for all the... More

Just had the most wonderful week at Westward Living, staying in Dream Cottage. Everything we read about on trip advisor was 100% correct. This is accomodation of the very highest level with all the lovely little extras added especially the chocolate and cream tea!! We shall definately be booking again. Thankyou again Heather and Alan Goodchild.
