Really enjoyed our stay & likely to book again next year. Lovely cottage with TV's WiFi and a great Hot Tub. Only minor hitch was the 3rd bedroom with the bunk beds which was a bit tight for 2 teenage boys. Save for that & really nice home from home experience with all the utilities you need.

Lovely location, smashing property, I'd say a little small for 6 adults and with only one bathroom and toilet we thought that could be annoying if fully subscribed, as a couple we had no such issues. I believe a touring caravan in the garden is being converted to provide an extra bedroom and toilet next year which will help that situation greatly. The hot tub is a great feature but really needs to be turned on 24 hours in advance, we missed a day of use as it was only switched on to heat up an hour before we arrived😔 The field can be challenging to traverse after heavy rain though we never got stuck it was precarious at times to avoid sliding and wheel spinning🫣 None of this detracted from our stay and there was everything you need for a relaxing stay Inc TV's in every room, 4 in total!! The washing machine and dryer were a particularly useful addition as well ensuring all our kit was taken care of and so nothing left to do on returning home. Its seclusion and location really lend itself to pure relaxation with wildlife regularly spotted including our very own pet kestrel called Kevin and his mates Kaya and Keith providing hours of aerial entertainment everyday 👌😎ðŸ˜

Our family had a wonderful time at Culver Chalet, it is a unique and very special place! The children loved the whole experience; from seeing rabbits running around the garden, flying kites in the field to walks down to the beach. The cottage is amazing, made extra special by all the little touches the owners have added, they made us feel at home straight away. It’s obviously a very treasured family house.
Some little highlights that stood out for us were the addition of children’s cutlery and crockery, books and bath toys, which were all unexpected and a lovely surprise. The luxury of a hot tub overlooking the view was amazing.
