Fabulous stay!
Stayed in this cottage for a monrh over the Christmas period. A cosy, clean, warm house in a beautiful location. Great hosts, good communication and nice touches (mince pies, wine and chocolates left for us). Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Very good property in great location.
Although our stay didn't get off to the best start as the cottage had not been cleaned since the previous renters. Henry Adams were quick to respond and send housekeepers to carry out the cleaning, change beds etc.
It was a lovely location for the coast as well as country walks with our two dogs, the garden was fully enclosed and was a good size.
Would definitely consider visiting again.

Relaxing Stay with Everything Provided
We had a wonderful stay at this cottage. The location was perfect for us, making it easy to catch up with family and friends along the south coast. The cottage itself was very well equipped, especially the kitchen, which had everything we needed to prepare meals without any hassle.
It was a lovely touch to find milk in the fridge and biscuits waiting for us on arrival, as well as useful essentials like washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, hand soap, and body wash. Having a hairdryer provided also made things much more convenient.
The setting was beautiful, with stunning sunsets from the back garden and deer visible from the front, which made our stay feel extra special.
Overall, this was a comfortable, welcoming, and well-thought-out place to stay, and we would happily return.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the cottage, the little touches, and the beautiful surroundings. It’s wonderful to hear you had such a comfortable and special stay, we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Lovely cottage, few cobwebs and spiders and there was anest of lady birds in the kitchen window above the fridge which were crawling about in the kitchen too. We noticed that the bathroom wash basin wasn’t fixed to the wall and felt unsafe.

Thanks so much for your feedback and for staying with us! We're really sorry to hear about the cobwebs, ladybirds, and the loose basin. We do wish you'd let us know during your stay so we could have put things right for you straight away. We really appreciate you letting us know and hope you still had an enjoyable time.

Great for a quiet break
Location was excellent - rural but close to town. The cottage was comfortable, well equipped and perfectly cleaned. Plenty of hot water, heating was good ( once you got to grips with the controls ) and kitchen had all the essentials for cooking a decent meal. Our only problem was the main double bedroom - the large bed was a bit too long for the room, making moving around a bit tricky. As a couple, we ended up using the twin room which was more spacious. Beds were very comfortable and if you have a youngster in tow, the travel cot was roomy ( bring your own bedding) and there was a high chair provided. Again, a slight criticism would be that as an old cottage it had some steep stairs so maybe a stair gate would be a good addition.
Overall, a really nice cottage in a lovely spot.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and found Southwood Cottage comfortable. We will pass your comments on to the property owners. I think they wanted to make sure they had as a big a bed as possible for guest comfort! Thank you again and please do get in touch if you are in the area again.
