What a surprise

Loved this very special Sunshine Cottage. What a well maintained and beautifully decorated home away from home. Thank you Gary and Victoria for a really relaxing retreat weekend. I loved Sunshine Cottage and will definitely be rebooking. Highly recommended.

Stunningly restored period cottage

What a beautiful little gem this sympathetically restored cottage is. The owner has managed to keep the period features and character whilst providing modern comforts. Cosy living room with period decoration and furnishing and well fitted bathroom and kitchen with all modern features whilst maintaining the cottage’s character. We are only sorry we could not stay longer. The porch is a lovely spot for an evening beer before retiring to the comfy bed.
